There are times I love to spend time just me. It feels good. The quiet rejuvenates me. But there is time when it is fun to spend time with the family.
My family is a unique experience, I am sure like many others. We are a very diverse array of personalities and add a spice of loudness, you have my family. One of the many things we like to do together is eat. Who doesn't?!
Today my family and I took the chance to go eat lunch together on our way to see their grandfather, my father-in-law. I should note at this time, that my hubby loves small mom pop type restaurants. He is not a fan of "chain" restaurants. So today we went to Fire on the Mountain out off of 57th.
This place was great! The atmosphere felt fun. The food tasted good. Best of all the company brought an amazing amount of fun. In true form my kids generated the much needed entertainment while my husband wanted to watch the football game but couldn't..... Maybe because the television was to his back, not my choice ladies! The most important thing at the end of the day, we had a good time.
This afternoon filled with great times; visiting with my kids; see my father-in-law; and just being together as a family reminded me of how important it is to spend time together as a family. My kids are getting older. They are growing into adults so fast, and I know soon they will be out of our house and on their own.
Days like today is what I need. They are times I am going to cherish and look back on with laughter. For now I can enjoy my quiet evening knowing that tomorrow will be another day, probably filled with a bit of crazy...... and that is okay.
Now if you want to know more about the restaurant that we visited here you go....... Fire on the Mountain. They have three locations. Great food, and a large amazing selection of barbecue sauces to pick from. They also offer deep fried Oreos and deep fried Twinkies.
