Fiona's Last Weekend....
This past weekend was Fiona's last one at home for the remainder of the year. Next Saturday she will be admitted into Long Beach Memorial Hospital. If all goes as plan, she would be there for a month. Meaning that the babies would be delivered on January 15th, Saturday (again, if all goes well). She's been dreading the stay but I think after this past weekend, she mentally composed herself and said that she's ready to go.
To set her mind at ease, Fiona and I went to a couple of restaurants. On Saturday, Fiona's parents took care of Jadon and kindly covered our dinner at Todai Restaurant. It's a Japanese buffet. It's a little pricey at 30/head for us, but hey it was covered. The next day for lunch we headed out to Sam Woo's (the fancier sitdown restaurant) for dim sum. And then for dinner we went to the crem-de-la-crem, a Hawaiian Seafood Restaurant called Roy's over in Fashion Island, Newport Beach. It was the most expensive meal that Fiona and I have ever had. (luckily we had a gift certificate compliments of Fiona's parents). The bill came out to a staggering $125. We started out with some Dungeness crab cakes. For the main course Fiona had the Shrimp and Scallops, and I had the 16oz bone-in ribeye steak. All were pretty tasty. The secret is in their sauces. And then for dessert we each had their signature dish, the chocolate souffle with ice cream (that came out to $8.50 a pop). I can't imagine how much it would have cost if we were alcohol drinkers.
That was probably the last time we would go to dinner, just the two of us, for a long long time.
