Well, this past Friday, it was my turn to plan the date for mine and Vinnie's dating through the alphabet plan. I had the letter "C". Sounds easy enough, right? Well, my first idea was to go to a comedy club. The one that we've been to in Charlotte is now closed down so I had to go back to the drawing board.
Then, I had the best idea ever! Vinnie had been dying to go to this concert called WinterJam 2011. They had been in Charlotte but we couldn't work out our schedule to go. But this particular Friday, we could go down to Greenville, SC and see it there. I made all the babysitting arrangements and was trying to keep it a surprise. Vinnie figured it out about halfway through Friday but that was fine because he was super excited about it. We left Gastonia about 4 planning on getting to Greenville about 5:30 and buying our tickets, then going to find somewhere to eat, and then going back for the concert at 7:00. No such luck though...we hit traffic and by the time we got to Greenville about 6:30, the concert was already sold out!
It's a good thing, I really enjoy my husband's company, or the night may have been ruined. We stayed downtown and had some sushi at Takosushi. Love my sushi...if it begins with a "C" or not!
Finally, we ended up the night at a little coffee place called Coffee Underground. Neither Vinnie nor me are really into coffeehouses so we were a little skeptical. But they had great desserts, a really good frappocino, and a fancy schmancy cup of coffee for Vinnie. He had to pour it out of a french coffee press. Fancy, right?
All in all, we had a wonderful time and were glad to have visited downtown Greenville. It's a really awesome city! We'll definitely have to revisit. As far as me planning our alphabet dates though...I may just let Vinnie handle it from here on out!
