Date Night with a Beast

Mar and I went on a group date last night to see Beauty and the Beast.

We went to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

 The balloon man lady came around... Mar asked for a parrot.  It looked more like a twisted balloon stuck to her shoulder, but she was pleased as punch.  That's all that counts, right?

(The last time I was at the Spaghetti Factory was with Britt.  In December of 2004.

We were downtown to watch her Poms group perform in the Parade of Lights.)

Mar and I made it into our seats by the skin of our teeth, but thoroughly enjoyed the show.  I loved the portrayal of the Beast - a little more comical than I had seen in the past.  Afterwards, Mar purchased a souvenir locket keychain, because she hadn't purchased a souvenir for for-e-ver, and she really wanted something to remember our date by.

We had a great time, and decided that we need to plan dates more often.
