Hot Date

My husband and I had a belated birthday date planned Saturday and I was really excited about it.  We left the house around 1pm and took the light rail into the city and then walked down to the harbor to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for lunch.  It's a new attraction in Baltimore City, but we had to wait for a table, so it must be popular.  It turned out to be a fun place with great quirky ambiance, fun and friendly staff and good food. I got Shrimper's Heaven, which was coconut shrimp, breaded shrimp and cold steamed shrimp in 3 upright basket with an additional flute of fries.  My husband got shrimp scampi over linguine and we both enjoyed out meals and the fun conversation we had with a wide eyed, eager young man who was working for the summer from Serbia and was asking about the "match" we were going to in our Orioles shirts.

We walked back up to the ball park and took our seats under the scoreboard in section 92 just as the National Anthem got underway.  We enjoyed each other's company, laughing often and sweating it out in the high humidity and 90 degree temps.  Even the hubby, who loves the heat, was sweating.  He got a couple of beers and I got a lemonade and we cheered when we could and waved at our son.  We left at the top of the ninth inning, knowing we were in for a loss, and went home to blessed air conditioning.

It's a very nice feeling to know that your mate of almost 24 years can still make your heart beat faster, make you laugh and make your day a much better one.  Thanks for the date, hot stuff.  I love you!
