A Night Full Of The Boathouse…

Hi there!  Happy Thursday!  I’m so happy that it’s finally Thursday.  Although yesterday felt like it should have been Thursday so today would have been Friday.  It’s okay though.  We are one day closer to it almost being the weekend and I am perfectly fine with that!  This has been a very long and slow-moving week so I will be happy when it’s over.  In other words, today is exactly 9 months until my wedding day!  Ahh, and nothing is done!  I think 9 months should be plenty of time for me to get everything done that I need to.  I’m hoping to pick up lots of items for the do-it-yourself portion of the wedding on Black Friday!  Fingers crossed for some great sales!!  :)   Are you going out on Black Friday?

So yesterday after work, Krissie from A Philly Nerd Girl and I decided to meet up.  This was our second time hanging out with each other.  Luckily, we both get out of work pretty early so neither one of us had to wait for the other to get done work.  We decided to go to the Boathouse in Wayne for drinks and dinner.  I’ve only been to the Boathouse in Conshohocken because that is where one of Mike’s cousins live and whenever we go to the Boathouse that is the closest location.  I was excited to see what this one looked like.

The Boathouse! I really wanted to take home that cup! Next time! ;)

Krissie and I grabbed a seat at the bar and started off with a beer each.  Lately, I have no idea what kind of beer that I want to order.  I know that I usually like most of the Sam Adams Seasonal beers.  So I asked Krissie if she knew if the Sam Adams Winter Lager was any good and she said she liked it.  So I went with that.  I’m glad that I did because I ended up really liking it!
We actually ended up just sitting and talking for a while because we got to the bar at like 3:45pm so neither of us was very hungry for dinner or appetizers just yet.  We caught up for a while on what has been going on in both of our lives.  We talked about anything and everything that I think we could.  Krissie is such a great person.  I’m thankful that I was able to meet her through blogging because I’m not sure we would have met otherwise. I like that she shares my love of beer and also really likes to dance which I do as well!  I see dancing in our future.
When the Happy Hour specials started, we decided to share two appetizers.  We ordered the Hummus Trio.

Hummus Trio

 

I think it’s funny that Krissie stuck with the hummus on the right and I stuck with the hummus on the left and neither of were brave enough to try the one in the middle.  It looked quite gross and I had no clue what it was.  I was definitely not trying that!  The hummus that I tried was really good!

The Boathouse is known for their wings so of course we had to order them.  We decided to order them Hot because I couldn’t remember if Mild had no buffalo flavor or not.

Wings!

 

The wings were SO good like always!  I think this place really does have great wings.  It’s a tie for me between the Boathouse and Chickie’s & Pete’s for their wings.  They are both equally good!  Do you like spicy food?  What is your favorite kind of bar food?

This time when we hung out, we remembered to finally take a picture!

Krissie & I

 

We spent the rest of the night talking before I looked down at my cell phone and realized that it was almost 8pm!  I couldn’t believe that we had been sitting there since 3:45pm!  It totally didn’t feel that long at all!  I think it’s because we never stopped talking for a second.  We had so much to talk about it and I really had a lot of fun!  The only bad part was driving 45 minutes home in the rain.  It was worth it though!

I’m pretty excited for tonight.  I’m going to an event and I am really looking forward to seeing what it is going to be.   Then tomorrow is our anniversary and I am down to the wire for Mike’s gift!  I have to run and get it tonight after work.  Talk about waiting until the last-minute!  This is totally not like me.  ;)

Alright well I rambled on enough for one day.  Have a great Thursday!  :)

  1. How fun…Krissie seems like a blast!

    As for your wedding…don’t worry! When I got married I remember my bf telling me that something WILL go wrong but it’s okay because at the end of the day you are married to the love of your life. So what went wrong? Well after the wedding we stayed to take pictures while everyone drove to the reception site. Keith and I were the last ones to leave. Our photographer left for the reception and it was just me and Keith and that point we realized we had locked his keys in his car with a cell phone. So we literally popped a squat in the parking lot for about 45 minutes waiting for someone to realize we were strandad. My Dad eventually drove back to the ceremony site and found us sitting there waiting. :) Ah…good times.

    • She is definitely fun to hang out with!

      You are exactly right. You can’t control every single thing. I need to go into the day with the notion that something might go wrong but it’s okay because you are marrying your soul mate. :)

      Oh, my goodness! I cannot believe that happened on your wedding day! At least it’s something to look back on and laugh about now. I’m sure it wasn’t funny then. I’m glad that your dad was able to get you!

  2. If anyone is curious, I had the Flying Fish Hopfish IPA. http://flyingfish.com/beers/hopfish_ipa.html Yay! I also cannot resist the deliciousness of roasted red pepper hummus. I have to start making it in tubs because Scott and I destroy the dinky ones from the store.

    Loved hanging out with you as always (even though always is twice) and I cannot wait for our dance party antics in the near future! It’s going DOWN! ;)

    • I should have tried the Flying Fish that you had. I don’t think I ever had it before. Next time! ;) Mmm..I should have tried that hummus. I don’t think I ever had roasted red pepper hummus.

      Same here!! It’s most definitely going down! :) So much fun!

  3. Looks like you girls had an awesome time. What’s better than good friends, good beers and good food, right?

    I’m planning on going black Friday shopping because I want to pick up a new camera and an external hard drive because my computer has been a bit wonky lately and I want to back up all my pictures.

    Congrats on your anniversary tomorrow!

    • I totally agree! It definitely was fun :)

      That is a good idea. I was thinking about getting an external hard drive just in case. They are good to have.

      Thank you! Happy almost anniversary to you too! :)

  4. I don’t think I’m going to shop on Black Friday because it might get too crazy for me. And I love spicy food. I love the spicy kick! :)

  5. I think I take back what I said on Monday — some of these Black Friday sales look too good not to venture out. At least it’ll be an adventure?

    So glad that you and Krissie had such a great time! :) I LOVE the scarf you’re wearing. Where did you get it?

    • I think you will be surprise and have so much fun! :) It’s definitely worth it to experience it even if it’s only once.

      Thank you! :) The scarf actually came with the sweater I was wearing. It’s from Kohl’s. I got it last year and I loved it so much that I bought it in 2 other colors as well. It’s very comfy.

  6. Looks like so much fun!

    And yes, totally into the black Friday shopping! So many great deals to be had! :)
