More Christmas Break with Dad

The kids will be flying back to school on New Year's Eve morning (yes, that's when the tickets were the cheapest). In order to spend some more time with them during a work day, we met Dad for lunch. Isn't it always fun trying to find a restaurant that meets all the necessary parameters? It needed to be close to the office and Steven wanted steak. Fortunately, BJ's Restaurant was acceptable to everyone.

We took advantage of the extensive menu. Steven got his steak. After a fried calamari appetizer, Michelle tried a chicken and quinoa bowl. Wayne experimented with an anchovy pizza. I enjoyed a fresh mozarella and tomato salad, followed by some nice comfort food (fried chicken and mashed potatoes). 

What a fun interlude. We'll miss them when they leave again.
