A Night out with Donut

So our official "date nights" have gone by the wayside for the time being and instead we dash out of the house immediately after feeding the baby anytime we can to go out to dinner. Some days, I am a borderline disaster by the time Forrest comes home so we're not going anywhere - but some days it is possible for me to leave the house which is refreshing.



Last Friday, Forrest was working a bit late and with the extra time to prepare I was able to change out of my permanent loungewear, pack up the baby, pick him up from work then head out to dinner. We went to Park Chalet by Ocean Beach. The food and beer were good - and the place was noisy because there was a band playing which is awesome in case Donut starts crying...really loud...


But alas, all was well and the baby slept the entire time.


But what was the coolest thing about the band? They had a Theremin player in the band. The Theremin is an instrument that you don't actually touch to "play"...totally fascinating. I had only heard of this once during an episode of This American Life called "Classifieds." Check out act 3...where they make a band based off ads from the classifieds.
