Spontaneous Date Last Week
We were feeling spontaneous last week. I guess it might have been because of the long holiday weekend. My hubby shared the idea of a nice evening out just the two of us, and I'll likely never say no to that. We went to a local Mexican restaurant about 24 minutes from where we live 1.
We've been meaning to visit this hidden gem for a while now. He ordered a burrito, and I ordered a torta which is essentially a Mexican sandwich with breaded chicken, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and jalapeños. So good. Yum! Drooling as I type this. All of it was delicuious but we got stuffed with the complimentary chips and salsa so we saved half of our dinner for the next part of our date.
Less than 10 minutes away, we crossed statelines for our first drive-in theatre experience -- something I've always longed to do, especially ever since we got Luna 🥹
It was a beautiful spontaneous date. We sat in the back of our pick-up truck with an overwhelming amount of snacks, sweets, and sodas surrounding us. Plus a $5 radio we rented echoing in our ears. Ten out of ten experience and we'll totally do it again.
My Favorite Part of the Movie
Please do not hover the text below unless you are ok with spoilers.
For sure: When Jessie discovers that Emily named her daughter after her. It was a real tear jerker. I got really emotional especially since Jessie was feeling irrelevant and forgotten by this point. It was a reminder that we often don't realize/know the impact we're making in someone else's life.
I wasn't lying when I said the closest Hispanic-anything is north of 20 minutes from us in the woods.↩
