Date Night: We Bought a Zoo
We like free. The next best thing is inexpensive. That's what our date was like on Friday night. We don't usually go out because of a low-end budget but it had been awhile since we have actually gone out and we had something to celebrate.
We went to a matinee movie, We Bought a Zoo at Paramount5 for only $2 each. What a great deal!!
Alyssa found a BOGO coupon for Costa Vida. No, not bogus, but bogo. It means Buy One, Get One (free). So our next adventure was to Costa Vida and who knew that this Mexican Grill was a happening place on a Friday night in Ice-burg. The line was long but the food was delicious and so worth the wait.

This movie had many dynamic stories that integrated into one big film of family struggles, compassion, romance, hope, and change. Matt Damon plays the risk-taking dad when he quits his job, moves his family out in the country and buys a zoo in hopes of getting over his wife who had recently passed away and a new life for him and his two kids.
He soon finds an "adventure" awaits him at the zoo in making it a dream come true.

Alyssa indulged in the Mango Chicken Salad while I pounded down the Shredded Beef Burrito.
The best part of this date? Spending an evening with my absolutely beautiful wife, Alyssa!
Second best part? This whole date only cost us $10. Sweet eh?
