I planned a day of doing stuff for Stephanie today, kind of an old-fashioned date day. I didn't do a good job keeping most of it a secret, but I did manage to keep the picnic part a secret.
First we went down into the Cuyahoga Valley National Park for a mini-picnic. I got her a salad from the grocery store and we had Gardenburgers® on the little gas grill. (Seriously... I doubt most people would know it's not beef.) Also got the premium root beer. Yummy.
From there we went to Best Buy and Target to kill a little time, and by some miracle, didn't actually buy anything.
Next off was the movie, Sky High. Yeah, PG Disney movie, I know, but Stephanie loves super heroes, and it was a fun flick. Two of the girls in the movie are adorable, the kind I hope to have some day. (No rush!)
Next we headed off to Borders and I bought Stephie a couple of books, as well as made sure my own was in a prominent position so someone would notice it and buy it. I can't share what the books were. ;)
Dinner was at a Thai place that also has a variety of Asian dishes. They have the full range from the more authentic stuff to mainstream crap like sweet and sour chicken. Good stuff, good decor, and it's casual. Yummy.
The day ended with some backrubbing and a late nap in the air conditioning. It was a great traditional date day. The only thing we didn't do is mini-golf! ;) Good times with my girl.
