Friday night we went to Lincoln and enjoyed a roma Friday night we went to Lincoln and enjoyed a romantic dinner in the back of our mini van. Yep. In an effort to lower our risk of Covid-19, we’re not dining inside restaurants right now. But that’s not stopping us from enjoying and supporting local eateries. We just order takeout and enjoy a hot meal in the back of our minivan in the parking lot (since we live about 30 minutes away). You can read all about our pandemic date nights and mini van set up on our blog. Just click on the link to this photo in our bio. We’ve also created a highlight button in our IG profile from our romantic date.
