That is what I woke up to as my Husband, Joe, smiled like a Cheshire cat from his side of the bed. I rubbed my eyes and stifled a yawn..."Ok?"
As he sprung out of bed and headed downstairs (it was his turn to plan for date night) I smiled and cuddled back into bed.
I have the distinct pleasure of having an unconventional relationship with my Husband. We are not only lovers and partners but best friends. We have fun together regardless if its at a 5 star restaurant or simply dinner and a movie...
...and that's exactly what we did!

| Plantation Tavern |
First we tried a new restaurant called, "Plantation Tavern", which is located in Kapolei. It was a drive from where we live but the movie theater Joe wanted to take me to was in that area.
"Plantation Tavern" happens to be seafood oriented (although they do offer other foods) and our server promptly brought us chips to munch on while we looked over the menu.
What he failed to tell us (before I took a bite) is that they were shrimp chips and I am allergic to seafood!
I know it's a bit of a oxymoron but I am...sigh.

| Uncle Norm’s Poke Nachos (upper right hand corner) |
After both the hostess and our waiter apologized profusely we ordered our drinks (Coke and Fruit Punch) and started discussing menu selections.
The Husband decided on the Garlic Chicken and I wanted to try their ½ lb. Local Beef Burger (it sounded good). We also ordered the House Salad and "Uncle Norm’s Poke Nachos".
Usually "Uncle Norm’s Poke Nachos" comes with seafood but we substituted for shredded pork. The nachos, which were fried wontons, were the best thing that came out of that kitchen! They were crisp, the sauce tangy, and the pork delectable! I will go back just for those nachos!
Everything else, to us, was mediocre. Nothing to be sent back but nothing besides the nachos got me excited.
"Plantation Tavern" touts "fresh from local farmers to our table" but I think they missed a few culinary steps in between.

| Regal Kapolei Commons 12 |
Not even 10 minutes away from "Plantation Tavern" we found ourselves drawn to the neon lights of "Regal Kapolei Commons 12"!
Here we were about to embark on a movie experience fit for a Queen (...and King)!
Opening weekend for the new X-Men Apocalypse and here we were in the brand new "Regal Kapolei Commons 12"!
What was truly curling my toes was that this theater would be the first time I got to sit in a King Sized Recliner Chair! (Yay!)
Joe had heard about this theater from a friend at work and had been told to get our tickets in advance.
Thank goodness we did!
The line to get tickets was at least 20-30 minutes long and we actually had to wait another 30 minutes just to get snacks!
As we stepped into the dark theater and hopped onto the King Sized Recliner Chairs I looked over at my Husband and smiled. Date night was a complete success...if I do say so myself!
We sunk in deeper and prepared to watch X-Men Apocalypse. Phones on silent. Lights out.
