Love day!

Normally our Valentine's day is spent apart. Paul has been out to sea for most of them, sad to say. So usually I am making Valentine's with the boys for their friends at school and then I get a sitter and go out with the girls and enjoy anti love day! Well this year with shore duty our "normal" is anything but... Paul & I decided that since this is the first year we really get to spend it together, we were going to do the whole day as a family!
We started the day with a visit to our favorite spot called "Barbie's Cafe" it is right on the marina of Seabeck. We love it there, a quiet, cute cafe that we feel very at home in. Everytime we go there we always have the best service. After than we ventured to town. Yes you heard me right we ventured to "Town" (20 mins away.) We then went to a couple of shops and looked around, sometimes it is nice to just look! After that we decided to take the boys to see a movie. Holy cow let me just say here that movie prices have gone way up. Can you tell we don't go see movies in the "Real" theatre very much, usually we go on base were it is $3.00 for a movie, $1.50 for unlimited soda, but they only have 1 showing and they were not showing the movie the boys wanted. Anyway... We went and saw none other than..................................................

The Tooth Fairy, not the best movie, but the boys enjoyed it.

Tickets for 4 to the movies $30
3 bags of Candy bought earlier and snuck into the movie $5.00
1 Large popcorn & 2 Large drinks $19.50
Seeing your children's faces when they realize you are going to see the movie they have been begging you and begging you to see....
Priceless

So I hope everyone had a Happy Love Day, I know we did!!!
