happy hour at mulberry wine bar and friday red bud island kayak
kat had suggested we return to FINO for happy hour this week, but I found their happy hour ends at 6PM. she'd hoped to leave work at 5 but that didn't happen, we adjusted for plan B, Mulberry. their HH ends at 7. I LOVE MULBERRY! kids did too. kat got there a bit late and I had a hard time keeping the kids from eating all the delicous HH snacks before she arrived.
the wine and lemon broth that surrounded the meatballs was delicious. we had to ask for extra bread so we could continue to soak it up. meatballs were good too, but the magic was in the broth. $9 for happy hour.
crostini piled with gorgonzola and copa over honey $5. how could it not be awesome?
and behind that, devils on horseback! a date stuffed with gorgonzola and then wrapped in bacon... WOW! the kids LOVED those. I've had them before, but these were the best so far.
fresh made churros at zocalo are really good. we all love sitting out on their patio.
#2 son loves all things related to water. he was so excited when I suggested kayaking around red bud island. it's been a while since we did our usual RBI friday and things were a bit different, the usual friday afternoon party was non existant. there were hardly any people there at all and we found a parking spot right away. we used the kayaks to get to our usual private beach area. and the kids were allowed to have junk food and sodas, continuing the "what happens on red bud island, stays on red bud island" tradition
the kids played like kids should play in the river, they splashed and swam.
