On holiday Monday my husband and I had the pleasure of spending the day together sans kids. I will admit we missed the little monkeys, but they were off having a great time with their Grandparents so we had a date! We couldn’t decide what movie to go to, so since we didn’t have kids for the whole day we took in a matinée and an evening show. It was fun! We started with The Dark Knight Rises, excellent end to the trilogy. The evening show was The Amazing Spider-man, we really liked that one too. We went for dinner at The Black Swan (cuz I love me some pub food), it was really quiet, the waitress informed us long weekends are really slow there, so we got to enjoy a lovely quiet dinner for two. We also enjoyed some dart playing, so overall it was a really fun day. The Black Swan’s menu had lots to choose from, I really had a hard time making a decision, so I went with an old British classic, the bangers and mash. The mashed potatoes and gravy were the best part of the meal, in fact hubs kept stealing some of my plate. Everything was great, we both really enjoyed our meals.
