it's 2:30 a.m., i should be in bed, i know...but i'm not.
we were able to go out on a "date" this evening because elisabeth went to the relay for life fundraiser night at school (movie night) and nick went to a party. we did have the baby, and we really only had a 2 hour window because of how the start/end times fell for the kids' activities.
we decided to head to our new mall, the shoppes at wiregrass, and attempted to try out the grillsmith, but even though the wait wasn't bad, we decided it would be cutting things too close for picking up elisabeth from the school event. so we headed to cosi cafe to try it out. i had their duo deal and ordered a "grilled chicken t.b.m." sandwich with their signature salad and a side of baby carrots, while jerry ordered the "turkey light" sandwich with the "tomato basil aurora" soup. i went up and purchased one of their oversized, 6" chocolate chip cookies for us to share for dessert...yum! all of it was really good and the atmosphere was pretty cool too. we chose to sit at a high top, but they had this really cool "big comfy couch" that was about 10-12 feet long that accommodated two tables' worth of space. if the kids were with us, i'm sure we would have opted to sit there. i definitely want to try it out again soon and try the "four cheese and fig melt" which has brie, cheddar, swiss and provolone with fig spread inside one of their flat breads.
i'm sure we'll head to grillsmith to try it out soon, but this made for a nice quick evening dinner since time was limited. we walked around the shopping area for just a bit and stepped into pottery barn to peruse the merchandise before heading out.
we enjoyed our evening, elisabeth had a blast hanging out with friends at the school afterhours, and nick went to his party then hung out at a friend's house until 1:00 a.m. (the time i picked him up because jerry and i both dozed off and didn't get there at midnight like we'd planned). if it weren't for the soccer tournament this weekend, nick would've spent the night, but he still got to hang out with the guys for awhile anyway.
"a nice time was had by all"...
