date night || sonic edition.

sometimes it's planned.

sometimes it's a last minute decision.

but date nights at sonic are one of our favorite things in the whole wide world.

we don't care if the weather feels like winter is on the way, half-price happy hour is our jam.

normally it's a milkshake--coconut cream pie for me and peanut butter for him. sometimes, we change it up a bit--Nerds watermelon slush for me and a route 66 lemon limeade for him. 

orrrrr, if we spot the birthday cake milkshake that wins overall. 

after we have the goodness in hand, we drive to the beautiful downtown--complete with lampposts and cobblestone streets.

we sit on a park bench overlooking the river and snuggle up. mainly i'm the one shivering. ;)

barges pass by shining their spot light piercing the night air.

sometimes, a riverboat is docked--passengers strolling on and off the boat enjoying downtown in their own way.

after throwing our empty cups away, we walk hand-in-hand on the sidewalk. hubby telling me all about the history of the little town we live in. pass floods, earthquakes, and the indians living here many years ago.

the painted murals on the flood wall tell all the stories.

i'm so grateful for the life i am able to live with this man.

here's to many more dates at sonic and walks in downtown.
