Valentine's Day Date

Saturday Gary and I celebrated Valentine's Day. We have class on Tuesday so it just wouldn't work for us.

We didn't do anything special, went to a movie and had dinner. In between we went grocery shopping. Gary also updated his cell phone.

We saw the movie "Safe House" and enjoyed it. It was playing at the new theater on Shiloh, went to the afternoon matinee where ticket prices are a bit cheaper. We didn't buy any snacks as those are way too over priced anyway.

For dinner we went to Famous Dave's BBQ. We had a gift card from his brother for there and used it. We shared a meal called the American Feast for $35. We got BBQ ribs, chicken and brisket with baked beans, cole slaw and some corn muffins. We couldn't eat it all so had to get to go boxes. There was enough for another meal. It was very delicious.

In between movie and dinner, we stopped at the mall to just wander around. It was quite busy with the boy scouts having their pine wood car derby. We stopped at the Verizon cell phone booth. I told Gary that his phone needs upgrading. His old one has been slowing going downhill. I told him that it would be nice that when I call, he would answer.

The phone he got is called octane. It is a flip phone with a regular keyboard for his texting. He also gets a $50 mail in rebate with it. So far he likes it, still finding all the whistles and bells for it. We did have to change our phone plan, it is basically the same thing just a different name and no changes in the price of the billing.

Sunday Jennifer and I went to the movie "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". I read the book and am now reading the second one. It was a very intense movie.
