Smash, Dine, and Cuddle Time!
Get ready for an action-packed date night! Our evening kicks off with a trip to The Oaks shopping center for a one-two punch of dinner and a movie, all in one comfy seat at the AMC Dine-In theater! We're going to watch Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson step into the ring as legendary MMA fighter Mark Kerr in the highly-anticipated flick, The Smashing Machine.
As for shopping, that's totally on the agenda... if we want it to be! We can hit the stores before or after the credits roll, or skip it entirely. But I've got one non-negotiable suggestion for the grand finale: post-movie, it's a straight shot back to the hotel for some serious Koa cuddle time. Just putting that out into the universe! 😉
