Yesterday I was on a first date with someone. He didn't tell me what we were doing but we drove down to the piers in Seattle. He had mentioned something about a cool bar downtown on the water, so I assumed that's where we were going. We were walking along the pier and browsed around the old curiosity shoppe, then as we continued walking we were almost to the aquarium. He said, "oh there's the aquarium." and I said "ugh, I hate the aquarium." There was a moment of awkward silence before I said "...oh, is that where we are going?" He said "... well we were..." Perfect Erin moment. Why did I say such a thing?! I went on to explain that it's not that I don't like going to the aquarium, it's just that I think they charge WAY too much. ($16 per person, and it only takes about an hour to go through the whole thing.) Anyway, we did go to the aquarium. And we had a great time looking at everything. The otters were both of our favorites. They reminded me of Reed and Blake because they were wrestling around. But needless to say I had a definite foot in my mouth experience. :/

HAHAHA that is terrible but wonderfully entertaining at the same time
LaDawn and I had a conversation why it's hard, and eventually never good, for a man to try and surprise a girl on a date like that. I had the same type of experience where the girl did to me what you did to him. Kind of shrinks one's ego.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! At least he got cool points for the Ye Old Curiosity Shop! That place is awesome - and a bit creepy.
