This was one of my favorite days of our trip. This day consisted of some wonderful girl time, makeovers and a surprise date!
The day began with me meeting my baby sister at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. I highly recommend their Cookie Dough flavored ice coffee. She then treated me to a manicure for my big date.
We then went back to my mom's where we were treated to Mary Kay makeovers.

Once my makeup was done, it was time to get ready. I've been excited about this date for a few days. My husband, who has always been so wonderful, decided to treat me to a little extra romance. We have not had an actual full night out since G was born (almost 14 months ago!). So, we handed G off to mom and headed out to what would end up being a wonderful evening.

Now let me preface this date. I am very Type A. I don't tend to like big surprises and the planner that I am insists on knowing details. In this instance, I was not given any of these options. My hubby was determined to surprise me and for probably the first time in my life, I relinquished control and allowed him to take care of everything.

We began the evening with a fabulous dining experience at La Scala. I've never been but have always wanted to go! This establishment is known for their good food and a truly fine dining experience. (I'll never forget C's face when the waitress took our silverware after eating our salads and provided us with clean forks, knives and spoons for our main course.)
To top it off, because we were there before the "real" dinner crowd, we had the place to ourselves for the first part of the meal (around 6:00pm people starting pouring in.)

After enjoying an amazing meal, he treated me to a real movie theater movie (haha). I have been dying to see Maleficent. I'm in love! This movie was well worth the wait.
I hated to see the evening end. The "us" time was long overdue. It's been a while since I've sat back, relaxed and just enjoyed myself. Being a mom is truly the best thing in the world and I would never trade it for a million of these types of nights, but it was nice to feel pretty again, dress up, and go somewhere without a diaper bag on my shoulder.
My vacation posts are quickly coming to an end. As I look back on the pictures and memories I've yet to share, I become excited about other possibilities this summer holds.
