i tried to be a good boyfriend and give erica a special date night tonight, but im pretty sure i failed miserably.
first we went to a quaint little tea room for dinner in romantic main street bethlehem. when we got there, it took about 10 minutes for the waitress to take care of us, even though she was only taking care of one other table. first, she told us we couldnt use the coupon we had, because it wasnt valid on holidays, and their holiday lasts from thanksgiving to new years. oh, gee, thanks. next she tells erica the sandwhich she wants isnt available. so we order the same sandwhich - swiss cheese, turkey, mustard, and tomato on a french baguette. 25 minutes later, our sandwhiches come out. they are long baguettes with big chunks of turkey, no mustard, cheese on the side for whatever reason, and the only tomatoes are on the salad. we put our salad dressing on our sandwhiches to spice it up a little. the sandwhiches were 10 dollars each.
next we went a romantic horse and carriage ride through the town. it was romantic except for the fact that there were a total of 6 people squeezed into the carriage - 2 mothers and their daughters were sitting squished beside us and facing us - practically sitting zipper legged - and they talked the entire time. and the ride lasted about a grand total of 10 minutes or so.
then for fun we went to the moravian christmas putz. erica didnt exactly enjoy that because she was having an asthma attack from the horses.
then we took our free movie tickets to see stuck on you. incredibly dull movie, extremely too long, not very funny at all, and i fell asleep on several occasions.
what a night.
tomorrow we are venturing into the unknown and trying our luck at skating at rockefeller center. holy moly lord help us.
