Last Saturday night we went to dinner with some friends, Colin and Erica. Our original plan was to eat around 6pm and then go bowling, but they had a few house projects going on that day and weren't able to meet us until around 7:15pm for dinner. That was fine with us as we didn't have much going on and were pretty flexible with our schedule that day.
We had a good time at dinner and then headed off to the bowling alley. We could tell right when we walked in that the bowling alley was very busy that night. So busy, in fact, that there was a 30-minute wait to get an open lane. We stood around for a few minutes discussing what to do. I could tell that none of us really wanted to wait around 30 minutes for the open lane, but no one was saying anything. We finally discussed it and decided to go get dessert. But that brought about another delimma: where to go for dessert?!
I started naming off some options...Orange Leaf, Coldstone Creamery (side note: for some reason I can't remember that it's Coldstone and often end up calling it Stonecold. I learned that Erica does the same thing!), TGI Fridays, Cheddars, etc. None of the options I mentioned got very good reactions until I suggested......Village Inn! For some reason, Village Inn popped into my head so I suggested it saying we could get pie! Everyone liked this idea so we decided to head over to Village Inn for pie. We laughed at ourselves while walking out of the bowling alley...here we are, all of us 32 or 33 years old, and going to Village Inn at 9pm on a Saturday night to eat pie and drink coffee. We felt so old!
But it was very fitting for all of us to do this because we've had several conversations with Colin and Erica where we've talked about how we like to go to bed early. And that it's pretty much the norm in both of our houses that we're in our pajamas and robes, relaxing on the couch or in bed around 9-9:30 most nights!
I think we were the youngest group of people in Village Inn that night, but we had a great time. And the best part was that we were at home by10pm!
