Food Scene
My husband and I love this small Vietnamese restaurant that is only 8 minutes from the house. We had never tried Pho or bubble tea and when we did, we LOVED it. We are kind of obsessed with this place and the people who run it. If you've never tried it and are feeling adventurous I definitely recommend this place!

This movie theater is the only one we like to go to because of the lay back lazy boy seats and MXC movie theaters. It is about a 30 minute drive from our home but it is so worth it! It is located in what we call the Pinnacle which has many different shops and restaurants to make an evening out of the trip.
