We took a day off…
for a date night that did not include Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Pittsburgh
Weather was pleasant enough to walk around, hold hands, rest, talk, be silly…
We dined on steak, asparagus with hollindaise and dessert (creme brulee for me, warm apple crisp with vanilla for Mr.) and the best (very potent) cocktail called “thin mint”.
We caught half of a Broadway show.
Fresh air is good for renewing energy.
We love our reno-ventures but we temporarily forgot about the chaos in the kitchen, the torn up flooring, the next DIY project on the list, the messy house. Just for a day. But we’re rested and ready to jump right back into this, this weekend:
Sometimes it’s good to step away.
DIY resumes this weekend. 🙂
You look spectacular!
I love this post. So glad you had a nice evening together. Amazing what a date night can do for the spirit!
I agree – you need to take time off and be together sometimes! So glad you had a different kind of fun. 🙂

Thanks, ladies! We had a fun day!
It's Pittsburgh. 🙂

You look beautiful! It sounds like you had a fun night! I like the sound of the thin mint cocktail.
(We spend most of our date nights at Depot too!) 🙂
Have a great day.

Looks like a very fun date. Newman I really need to get away too! Your kitchen is looking so fabulous. I know the end result is going to be a knockout.
You are lovely. You clean up very well! I'm glad you got a little get away. What a nice treat for you.
My cousin gave our family tickets to see Les Miserables up in Cleveland next weekend. I'll be in a cast, but I have a plan to dress it up for the night.
So fun!! You remind me of Sex and the City, Pittsburgh style! =) Those days to yourself are always fantastic!!
Ooh La La Roeshel!! You look gorgeous my friend! I am so happy that you got to take a break and have fun! It sounds like you had an amazing date night. 🙂

*god – oops – I meant GOOD =)
What a glamorous night out (and a nice reminder that it is okay to take a night off from remodeling!)
That looks like date night at the Capital Grill, no?! Glad you enjoyed your date night!
BB! SO close!!! It's actually Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. We had a $100 gift card (otherwise it might have been Primanti's! lol). SO COOL to "meet" local bloggers! Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone here in PA while most bloggers are south or CA or even Canada! We need a get together! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
