OPERATION DATE NIGHT = finally getting my Pesos nachos.. if you are ever in lower Queen Anne, Seattle.. you must eat at this Mexican restaurant.. I used to eat there literally every week when we lived 3 blocks from it.. by myself.. middle of the day while Dustin worked.. I would walk up.. sit down.. order the best lime margarita I have ever had.. get 2 sent over for free from men I never knew.. take down a whole plate of nachos while getting my drink on.. and walk home..  (clearly this was before I had children).. the waitress would always ask why I was alone.. and I always had to explain I was new to the city.. and had zero friends.. when I always just wanted to be left alone to mow down in peace.. 

last night.. I was able to go back to that moment.. sans margarita.. and it was good.. no.. it was great.. 

we headed over to Gameworks after.. one of those adult game places.. to also finish off an air hockey competition that was left unfinished.. only this time.. he kicked me but every time.. I blame the belly.. and the soar back.. I just wasn’t able to move like I used to.. than we went to the ticket machines.. those are always my favorite.. and we went to one that I remember loving at wonderland.. but could never win the bonus on..  the one where you put in a token.. and this light swirls around a big circle.. and you have to push the button to get the light to stop right in front of you at the bonus.. as I am telling Dustin I have never ever won one of these.. ever! he gets the bonus 4 times.. seriously.. I think his new glasses give him better hand-eye coordination ;) we headed to the prize area.. picked up a harmonica for Olive and some fun maids.. and called it a night..
