Dining Out

Aaron's squadron had a "Dining Out" in Tokyo in February. A dining out is another tradition in the Navy. We drove to downtown Tokyo prior to the dinner. We checked into our hotel and let B crawl all over. That night we had a babysitter who stayed at the hotel to watch B for the night. The evening started out with a cocktail hour while everyone arrived.

We found our name place cards and sat down for dinner. There were five courses. The first was spanakopita. This was followed by a cup of one of the best french onion soups I've had in a long time. There was a raspberry vinaigrette salad before our main course of prime rib. Dessert was a tasty cheesecake with fresh berries. Overall it was a good dinner.

As the evening progressed through dinner there were more festivities. We all had a good time. There was a lot of silliness and laughter.

Aaron's call sign is "Bat Kid." Later in the evening a batman costume was given to Aaron to wear. He had fun in the costume and created good memories.
