Benihana’s 1/19/09
Posted in Family, Outings by: Alisa
Scott’s favorite restaurant is Benihana’s so Monday night we got together with his parents and headed over to Vallco to eat. For those of you who don’t know, Benihana’s is a Japanese restaurant where the food is cooked at your table by special chefs who put on a show for you with their cutlery and cooking utensils. We had such a great time. The kids usually do well at restaurants but on Monday we didn’t hear a peep from them. We did order too much food for them but that just made dinner Tuesday night so no problems there.
Benihana’s is pricey so we only go there every once in a while but when we do we absolutely love it. Truman is asking if we can go back for his birthday in March. I’m totally OK with that. Beats Chuck E Cheese’s any day of the week!
You guys probably already know this but the aquarium is one of my favorite places to go. We had a season pass a few years back before Max started school and I would take the kids every two weeks or so and I absolutely loved it. Scott’s cousin and his family were down after Christmas so we headed down to the aquarium for the day. It was so much fun but it was pretty crowded so our family was totally wiped out by the time we got home. Thanks Gary and Elaine for dinner. Scott also bought me fudge at one of the shops on Cannery Row. Just one more reason to love him.
