And now…three days later, I get to finish the anniversary story. Because it didn’t end with clogged septic tanks and hurried breakfasts. Even in the middle of an incredibly busy week, we blindly forgot everything else and took off, just the two of us, for the nicest restaurant in town. Kasia took a two hour nap while the rest of the children finished their school work and had quiet time at home. After three hours of eating good food and talking in a quiet, lovely atmosphere, we drove home and picked up the children for an evening at Maua Cafe. The boys thought celebrating anniversaries as a family was a really good idea. Because it included chocolate milkshakes and chocolate milkshakes are always a good idea for growing boys. =) I think they were also amused and delighted at their parents, still rather crazy and in love.
While the girls shared a strawberry smoothie and they all ate hamburgers. This is a very special little cafe that features american food (with a price=) so it’s a fun place to go for a special occasion.
