Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don’t think it was worth the price. I’m grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.
I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn’t have to worry about work today.
Woke up to some coffee in bed, and a nice card with a gift cert to a brewery tour, mouse pad with my daughter’s on it, and a new shirt. Then downstairs for chicken and waffles for breakfast before heading out to the zoo. Had a blast there seeing the kids react to animals they had never seen before.
Then on the way home the older of the two got car sick but we managed and pushed through to dinner which was some hot pot and a nice bottle of red wine.
All in all a pretty fine day, maybe got a bit sunburnt however at the zoo.
The zoo is great! Ours has a platform where you can handfeed lettuce to the giraffes and my kid and we have a lot of fun with that.
