It's been so long since Alex and I have had a night out together, without Katelyn, it almost seems foreign.  We weren't planning a date night, but TWO fell into our laps last week.  As I have mentioned, we do photography and we decided to place an ad with this site.  On Thursday morning Jillian (our rockin' advertisement guru) called to say she had two tickets to see Elton John on Friday night! 

I didn't know what to think at first.  We didn't have a sitter, we had work to get done, we had to get up early Saturday, etc...

But it all worked out for us to go.  We had a nice dinner at home with Katelyn and then my dad watched her for us.  We enjoyed the concert (great music & seats too!). Afterwards, we drove around town trying to find a restaurant open to talk over coffee and dessert.  By 11pm every place we tried had closed except for Denny's.  So we had a nice time at Denny's.  :)  It was fun actually, because it reminded us of our early dating days in high school when we'd hang out with friends at Denny's...

On Saturday we had a family photo session at the beach.  Our original plans to take Katelyn and just have someone watch her during the shoot didn't work out.  So my dad watched her for us for the entire day! 

We had a great shoot with an awesome family and ended our day by driving to San Luis Obispo.  We walked around sans stroller & bebe!  It was romantic.  A huge golden moon in the sky, a cool ocean breeze and the charm of  busy night-life in a quaint old town.  We had a nice romantic dinner at a local Italian restaurant to top it all off!  It was like a perfect weekend we never planned for.
