Bob and Dani's Day of Fun

Monday, October 20, 2008

This past Friday Bob had a break from school, and he wasn't scheduled to work. That hardly ever happens, so we decided to make a day of it. I seriously debated taking the day off from work. For those of you who know me at all, you know that I'm NOT a risk taker. I even have to carefully consider taking a day off, weighing the risks and benefits. Well, I took the "risk", and we had a great day together.

Our day started by sleeping in and taking it easy. By noon, we were at Newton Dam at the shooting range. I have to admit that I really do like my gun that Bob surprised me with for our anniversary. It was a beautiful fall day. Feeling hungry, we went to lunch at Pizza Plus in Smithfield. They have amazing cheese bread sticks - Yum-O! After lunch, we checked out the Smithfield Implement, a local country store open since 1911. I am a big believer in dessert or something sweet after a meal. With this in mind, Bob and I went to Old Grist Meal, a local bakery. Bob enjoyed a peach scone and a raspberry cream cheese roll, and I had a scrumptious peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. To continue our fun, we went to see Eagle Eye. We thought the movie was good. I would rate it at about an 8. To end our eventful day, we went to dinner at Cafe Sabor, my favorite Mexican restaurant.

You have to understand that Bob and I are, for the most part, boring. We are perfectly happy staying in, cuddled up on the couch. So this was a big day for us ;)! I'm glad that we both took a day and made it special, different from other days. I'm learning that life is life - we have to make it great. It's the little things that count and help break up the norm. We definitely had a fun day!

Beautiful Day at Newton Dam

Looking Good!

Look at my Gun!

I hit the bull's eye. I had about 62% shooting accuracy - not too shabby!
