Last night Jess and I went out for dinner with some our friends from our old neighborhood. Fang stayed and watched the kids. She made Chinese food (Kung Pao chicken and spicy beans) for the kids,which is always a big hit.

Jess and I took a taxi downtown and met up with our friends at a random bar near the restaurant. Even though it's not too cold (about 32 degrees F) the plaza was mostly empty. In the summer there would be people everywhere.

After a little foosball, Ms Pacman, and some wine (random, I know), we left and headed to the restaurant.

We don't go out often because it's expensive and pretty inconvenient if you have children. We didn't finish our dessert until nearly 1:00am, and then it's normal to sit for another chatting and then go somewhere after for drinks and chatting.

We're not that cool. :) We promised Fang we'd be back by 1:15 so we quick hopped in a cab and came home. Fine for me though, I was yawning the entire way home.

Despite being a complicated night, it was super nice to go out and act like adults for an evening. :)
