Code took me to....
The Hobbit Cafe! I didn't even know it existed but it's tucked away down a random street in the inner loop of Houston. It was def a unique building-older with wooden floors that squeeked etc. It honestly reminded me of that dessert place that has those huge cookies that are really in mini pie pans with ice cream on top in provo/orem that has random tables/booths all throughout this house type building and you just go find a corner of the place etc. It was kinda like that.
They had all sorts of different Lord of the Rings art/posters/signs up:
Though, being one who loves themes, their attempts to make it the hobbit cafe seemed half-hearted. Only one section on the menu actually had Lord of the Ring names for their sandwiches etc. I got the Dwalin sandwich (curry chicken, grapes, almonds, mayo, lettuce) and Code got the angus burger-very un-lord of the rings- if you ask me. It was still fun though. I would have made rounded doorways and lil displays throughout the place (maybe in display cases to protect them) etc. to make it feel like Bag End or something but still-a fun, quirky place.
After Hobbit Cafe we stopped by our favorite dessert place in Houston:
the Chocolate Bar!
and this is why:
that's toffee bits not nuts.
It was a great night and staying on our Valentines' theme, when we got home we checked the mail and Jake got his first valentine ever from his Grandma Kathy-a cute card with a lil picture to color of a heart. Since we're not quite to the coloring stage of life, I let him do what he does best-mangle it....out of love:
I love date nights!!! Glad you got to get away for a night!
ReplyDeleteWe had a blast with Jake! My favorite part was watching grandpa make him laugh. So adorable! I hope the 10 minute power nap we let him have won't keep him up too late tonight. I'm glad he liked his valentine and was able to have some fun with it. :)
