Yesterday my honey & I went to dinner, the movies and stopped for dessert...
We started our evening going to one of my favorite restaurants in Lake City Florida, Gondolier Italian Restaurant on Highway 90. Our dinner started with a toss salad with an Italian vinaigrette ~ Then I had Fried Chicken Carbonara which was a super rich, classic 'bacon and egg' spaghetti dish with peas. Ralph had the Tour of Italy which had Mancotti, Veal Parmesan, Lasagna and Spaghetti with meat sauce. Both of these dishes were really yummy! We could only eat about half of our meal so we pack the leftovers up into doggie boxes and took it home to have for another meal. We didn't want to feel to full since we were going to the movies too
I am a huge fan of the Marvel Comic Book Super Hero's so my choice for the movie of the night was the Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds (again YUM). All I can sat is that I loved the movie and they definitely left it open for a sequel but you must stay through the credits to see how I know this. So many movies now give you added scenes after or during the end credits and it is amazing how many people leave and miss them. The funny thing that happened while we were in the movies is a HUGE thunder storm came and it poured so hard you could hear it on the roof of the theater. But the isn't what was funny or should I say weird. The roof leaked and you could hear it pouring into the theater during the show. I am sure glad I wasn't sitting where it was coming in.

After we left the theater Ralph swung in to McDonalds and h e got a vanilla cone and I had the Rolo McFlurry... YUM!!!
So that was our evening and it was really a great one!
Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!

Donna...this sounds like one YUMMY evening, all of it. Well, except for the leaky roof part.
Now, I could really go for some of those leftovers, so be surprised I drive all the way to Florida and you find me at your doorstep.
Sounds like you had a great date night. Dinner looked delicious and yummy. I can't remember the last time Kevin and I went to a movie.
