We found a babysitter; convinced our companions to try out our favorite place to eat out, Malaga, and made sure we could get seating as soon as we showed up; and massaged Jonathan's work schedule so we wouldn't be rushing too much.
Dinner was fantastic, still the best calamares I've ever tasted, and the lamb was quite tasty as well. Frances loved how the little forks make you feel dainty. David liked the food enough that he said he wanted to come back, so I think we've made a conquest. It's a very different experience from most American restaurants, so we're really glad they had a good time.
We were only 5 blocks from the theater, and the weather was lovely, so we walked over. (I have to say that I love walking around downtown at night. There's so much to look at.) Our seats were up in the balcony. Not the best in the house, but convenient to the exits and we still had a decent view. We scoured the program for my friend Casey. We knew she was in the play, but I didn't know what part. The play was good, though I have to say that once you've crewed a play, you shouldn't watch one from the balcony. I was distracted from the action by the glow-in-the-dark set marks and seeing how each of the set pieces turned into other set pieces. I'm betting it would have been less distracting if we were on the floor. Ah, well. It was still a great evening, we had a lot of fun, Casey was fantastic (I want her costumes!) and we got the sitter home right when we said we would.
Thanks for the night out!

Sounds like a wonderful night! Nathan and I went on a date this weekend- to the mall and Fuddruckers :)
Sometimes your blog doesn't want me to comment! This does sound like a lot of fun! I love going to the theatre.
