The Journey

December:  The journey is better than the destination.  Not always but this day it couldn't have been more true.  The kids love bread sticks from Olive Garden.  Kendall had the night off so we decided to brave the rain and a public restaurant.  For the record, it isn't always good to be brave...

The ride itself was actually really fun.  Kendall had to run into a store and the kids kept us laughing.

So the trip in the pouring rain was great.  The restaurant was not so great.  After playing musical chairs for the first five minutes and changing drink orders five times we were finally situated.  Then Hadley let out a loud scream which wasn't really a big deal until the guy sitting behind us made it a big deal.  He huffed and puffed and asked his wife if they could move to another table.  "Are you serious he asked?"  Yes, we are serious mister.  You go out to eat you run the risk of having other living, breathing or heaven forbid noise making humans around you.  If you want silence while eating so badly stay at home or find a padded cell.

Hadley got so antsy Kendall changed his order to go and left.  Then the other kids threw a fit because they wanted to go with dad.  A few spills and melt downs later and with bags full of food, we left.  Well I hope Mr. Mean Man was happy.
