11 years & counting ...

This past Saturday, August 28th, was our 11th anniversary.  11 years & still kicking! : )  We decided to make this years' celebration an "adults only" event.  We seem to be having a lot of those lately! : )  David planned a little surprise trip to Ennis to go to the drive-in theater there.  I've mentioned recently how long it has been since I watched a movie at the drive-in & how much fun I thought it would be.  Well I was right!  Glad David was paying attention ; )  We had a great night ... loaded up on popcorn, hot dogs & french fries & kicked back to watch "the Other Guys" w/ Will Farrell.  Not the best flick ever- but it had its moments.  After the movie ended we headed to the local "hot spot" in town on the square- "The Wooden Nickel".  Talk about your people watching.  It was a truly interesting assortment of folks ... to say the least.  They had one of the worst bands I've ever heard play in public- "The Heap".  Appropriate name.  Where was my camera when I really needed it!?!?   All & all a very entertaining evening.  Meanwhile, the kids had a great time with Vivi & Pops.  When we arrived this morning they were swimming & having a blast.  I don't think they missed us much at all : (  We did decide, however, that our next trip to the drive-in will have to include the kids.  They would love it!
Our Holiday Inn Express suite in Ennis was actually pretty nice

It looks really cool at night with all the flashing lights & the movie screens all light up in the background ... but hard to capture on film

Had to grab a shot with Sponge Bob- the kids are big fans.  This is part of the putt-putt golf set-up in front if the drive -in
