Weeknight Date

Having a date night during the week is such a welcome treat. We stopped by Tom's Farms for an early dinner just before sunset. It was so nice because the place is usually packed on the weekends with lots of familys and Harley riders and it was surprisingly empty during the week except for a few birds and squirrels.

We had our burgers out on the patio overlooking the duck pond. The Man had an enormous bacony, cheesy, artery-clogging burger with a side of (never heard of before) deep fried mushrooms. He loved the mushrooms and I have to say they were very crunchy and delicious. Maybe those with a salad next time. ;-)
