Night out with Nichole

When the boys are busy working nights, the girls will go out and play! Scott, like usual, was working this Friday night, and Brian (Nichole's husband) was out of town for business. So the Irvine Spectrum beckoned to us....for those that don't know, the Spectrum is a HUGE suburban sprawl outdoor mall/restaurant/bar scene in Irvine. Nichole decided beer was on the menu for the night, so our first stop was The Yardhouse for some tasty Purple Haze beer (hint of rasberry flavor, but not too fruity). After a couple beers and a couple guys hitting on us despite our rather large and shiny diamonds, we headed to the next bar. On the way, we stopped to get our hair straightened (becuase that is the kind of stuff you can do at the Spectrum). We stopped (or rather were stopped) by a very energetic foreign boy at a kiosk, and armed with a hair straightener, he turned Nichole from drab to fab! He tried selling us a pink striaghtener for $120! I am quite happy with my $14.99 version from Target. Next I had an urge to play skee-ball, so we proceeded to Dave & Busters. This bar scene was quite a bit younger and the beer selection was much smaller, so we settled with Fat Tires. We headed to the skee-ball games with our beers and a $7 gamecard. Now, I am a self-proclaimed skee-ball champ, but Nichole had to cheat to get a good score! About 20 minutes later, our $7 was gone, but we had 101 tickets. We needed 110 for a shot glass or 150 for a glittery pen. We made friends in the ticket store, and swindled leftover tickets, netting us a lovely red pen with glitter paint and plastic jewels encrusted in it (when you touch it your hands get covered in glitter and smell like glue). Totally worth the $7 we paid for it =)
