Sam's by the sea

Josh got home a little early from work today and we wanted out of the house so we went to our list. I made a long list of all the things we want to do, see, eat, try etc while we're here. We decided to try out Sam's by the sea. The only negative I've heard about it is that it's expensive, but because we spent last weekend indoors we had enough to splurge a little.

We cut through base to get there quicker, this is what the roads look like on base.


And offbase.

About two minutes after we thought we had misread the directions we found it. On the way we passed a huge king kong statue with a sign about prohibition on it. I'll have to get a picture of him someday.

It's a Hawaii themed restaurant where all the waitresses wear sailor outfits. They have signature drinks and cups and we might be planning to go back often enough to get all the cups. Thomas was over the moon about this skull cup.

The bread basket had three different kinds of bread...why this one was pink I don't know, but I claimed it for myself and put some butter on it. Surprise, it was pineapple butter. I didn't even know that existed. It was actually pretty good especially since I had a pineapple drink to go with it. You can see my festive cup in this picture, that's the one we took home today.
T's salad came with a fish toothpick, again he was thrilled by this and proceeded to eat anything he could by poking it with his fish. They also give you some curry soup to start that was actually pretty good...but hot creamy soup just isn't on my list of favorites in this weather.

People were right, it was expensive and you don't really have a cheap option so Josh got some sort of chicken and filet combo, which he devoured. I ordered ribs and filet...it seems filet came with everything. The food was worth what we paid though, all of it was delicious. These places make me wish I liked fish because they had quite a selection for fish lovers.
T's kid meal came with this little dessert which he ate entirely by himself saying "mmmmmm" the whole time. I guess it must have been good!

On the way out I stopped in the bathroom, mostly because I was curious as to what it would look like, I love this shell sink, how fun! Notice the cloth hand towels...no throw away paper towels here!

We had had such a great dinner, Thomas was patient and happy through the entire meal which is such a rarity and so we were all in a goofy mood afterwards. We took this picture and I said I didn't like it because our noses were all squished.

And then he did this. This is why I married him. Sometimes I laugh so hard I get worried I might pee my pants. (a very legitimate fear)
