Date Weekend

This weekend ended up being a fun date weekend for Keith and I.  Friday night we walked to The Congregation Ale House for dinner from our house (1.6 miles).  It was a beautiful day and we sat outside and enjoyed some really great hamburgers.  Since I didn't wear the most practical shoes, and I am still getting over Bronchitis, and I'm a tired pregnant lady, we hopped on the local bus system and caught a ride back to our neighborhood.  Keith is not a fan of the Passport bus but we had a positive experience this time so hopefully I can drag him on again sometime soon. 

Saturday we went to the Santa Anita Horse Races to do some bidding on the ponies and were also pleased that there was a gourmet Food Truck festival in the track infield.  There was 80+ food trucks, music, and tons of people.  We had a blast walking back and forth between betting on horses and roaming the food truck chaos.  Our $2 bets didn't bring us home any richer but we did have an excellent time and hope to go back again soon.  Our love for food trucks has hit a bit of a slump though as the lines are really long a lot of the time (2 hours for a grilled cheese is still a bit too much of a time investment for me to brave the line), the portions small, and the prices a bit high.  We had some good food and chose lines that were manageable but all in all left a bit hungry and unsatisfied.  As we walked our tired little legs back to the car we summarized that it was an excellent time and we were glad we spent the day bettin' on ponies. 
We vowed to get some photos of us but only managed to get a photo from the grandstands looking out over the track and the food truck festivities.  The other lucky photo we managed to snap was of the horse Free Beer who ended up not being so lucky. 
Overall we just had a great weekend spending time together.  Something we are trying to cherish (based on the strong recommendation of so many of our friends with small kids) while we have us all to ourselves.
