Brent and I got a rare evening out thanks to a sweet neighbor who offered to watch our girls for the evening. Dinner and a Concert.
We went to the historic McAlpine's Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Phoenix for dinner. The restuarant has been around since the 1920's. The wait staff dress in 1930's attire, and the fixtures are original. You can get a float from the same machine they've used since the '40's. They had a 3 column small print page of all the different soda flavors you could get from the soda fountain. Anything, ANYTHING from pickle juice, to bubble gum, chocolate, coffee, tiger blood, cotton candy...
Brent ordered a chocolate peanut butter soda, (yuck!) I ordered a red velvet cake soda. Mine was delicious, his was terrible. Now he knows that there is a form of chocolate and peanutbutter that he doesn't like.
After dinner, we went to a christian concert. We were supposed to buy our tickets at the door, but we didn't realize they meant literally, at the door. We didn't have cash so we had to walk over to the closest place to see if we could find an ATM. Closest place, Coopertown; Alice Cooper's restaurant. Check that off my to do list. :-P
By the time we had cash in hand, and got our tickets, there were only seats left at the very top of the stadium. For the first hour I was so dizzy from the height we were at, I didn't have the nerve to stand up. The concert was great though and it was so nice to be out together and not have to take any little ones to the restroom.
