Fun night out
So yesterday afternoon my mom, and my two aunts and me went out to celebrate my aunts birthday.
We went to a local hotel and had a meal and a few drinks.
The food was delicious. Mom and one of my aunts got toasted specials, with chips and salad. My other aunt got thai green curry, and I was trying to be healthy so got the healthier option of an omelette and fries.
We had a very nice time, chatted a lot, and just enjoyed each others company.
I didnt drink, I had two diet cokes, and then after that I decided to just drink water with lemon in it.
We got home at around 11 Pm last night. My aunts husband dropped us home, so we didnt have to wait for a taxi.
It was a lovely evening though.
