Date Night; Food & Music

We like to eat.  On our date nights we love going out to new restaurants we've never been to.. whether it's a chain or a local place.. we like tasting new foods and being in a new atmosphere.  Last weekend we went to a restaurant called ZAZA's - a place known for their big, fresh salads and wood-fired pizzas.  And wouldn't you know it, they also have really good gelato.  ;)

I had a spring green/spinach mix salad with strawberries, blueberries, pecans, goat cheese, and a side of balsamic vinaigrette.  My husband had a pizza, half ham & pineapple and half something with lots of meat and arugula.  We shared and both were really delicious - and the portions were huge.  But you could tell the ingredients were fresh.

It was gorgeous out that evening, so we were able to sit out on the patio and enjoy some sunshine.  :)

And of course I had a small bowl of gelato afterwards.  I couldn't pass it up.  If you know me, you know I like all forms of ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato.. whatever!  I chose the tiramisu.. chocolate gelato with soaked lady fingers!  And yes, I know that photo below is super attractive of me... but my gelato was melting all over the place.

Okay so this date was partially a 'birthday date' for my husband.  His birthday was back in April, and his gift was a pair of tickets to see Jason Aldean in concert.  Pretty good present if I do say so myself.  So glad he chose me to go with him.. ;) 

Jake Owen open for him.. (which is who is in the picture on the right.. my phone died before Jason Aldean came out.. sad).  They both put on an amazing show.  I'd go again if I had the chance.

We cherish our date nights, for sure.  But of course we both found ourselves saying 'I miss my baby girl' about 10 times throughout the night.  ;)  That girl has our hearts!
