who needs a fancy dinner?

today my mom watched the kids (thanks mom!) while ben and i escaped on a much needed date day.

enter the national whitewater center in charlotte.   we did rock walls, zip lines and high ropes courses through the tree canopy.

we were geared up in harnesses all day so these are the only shots from my camera.

if you look closely you can see people on one of the zip lines. 

in the distance is part of a ropes course.   there were other courses in the trees with obstacles leading to zip lines that were also fun to conquer.  

we made some good good memories today.
