DAY DATE WITH THE BOYFRIEND

My boyfriend surprised me with a little impromptu day date yesterday! He's been working almost every single day of the last several months so we've only been able to spend a few hours together here and there. I always have Tuesdays off from work so it worked out that he was also able to take the afternoon off! I didn't end up shooting any outfit content for my normal Wednesday style post so here's a little recap of our day instead. 


Alright ya'll, we are pretty low key-- the most adventurous things we usually do is eat. Anyone else?? For lunch we decided to take a little road trip to Drake's, one of our favorite restaurants. It's a little bit of a drive for us but they have several locations across different states here in the South. They have the best burgers, drinks and sushi! We also love the atmosphere- it's super relaxed and has a great vibe. 

We started off by splitting a Surf + Turf roll for an appetizer. I'm not a huge sushi person-- fish is pretty much a no-go for me. I try to make an effort to try them whenever he orders any and I do like some of the shrimp/crab ones or anything with tempura. The Surf + Turf passed the vibe check for me: cream cheese, crab + asparagus with filet and avocado on top. It also had a sriracha sauce that added a little bit of spice + extra flavor. For someone who isn't a big sushi person, I would eat it again! My boyfriend's a lot more adventurous than I am-- I think he liked it too but I got the impression it wasn't his favorite. ðŸ˜œ


For entree, I ordered my usual Triple Double Mini Burgers with fries. I've tried lots of other items but these are my favorite- two double patty sliders with lots of cheese!! I always add garlic parmesan mayo to them too (total game changer) and get a side of ranch for the fries! JJ got the burger of the month but normally he gets the BBQ Burger or a Patty Melt! As if I wasn't already stuffed enough, they also gave us a free cookie dessert which was delish! 

The rest of the afternoon consisted of walking around + doing some shopping to burn off our lunch! I didn't find too much, just a few snacks from Target. Ya'll I've been OBSESSED with these dark chocolate almonds so I picked up the himalayan salt ones to try. After that, we went grocery shopping and watched the next Fast & Furious movie. If you missed it, we've been watching all of them on the weekends. We watched Fast & Furious 6 tonight and then had a late dinner. JJ grilled steak + asparagus and we shared a twice baked potato and gorgonzola + pear salad. I wasn't joking that my days usually just revolve around food! ðŸ¤£ JJ also put new wiper blades on my car for me, does that count as exciting? It was for me! Lol! 

Anywhoooo, that's a wrap for our midweek day date! It was nice having a fun, relaxing day with my boo and some yummy food. What's your favorite thing to do on date night/date day? We usually like to watch movies or shows (and eat of course!) so send me your ideas!
