A Special Occasion Dinner


August 7th is a very special day for the Montoya family. Firstly it's my birthday and secondly it's my in laws wedding anniversary. Since we were all together here in Okinawa we decided to celebrate the special occasion by going out to dinner at Sam's by the Sea. It's a favorite of American's for special dinners, they have a lot of fancy drinks and a very extensive menu. We enjoyed delicious meals including crab legs, lobster and steak, shrimp and steak and flaming filet mignon served on a sword. The whole place is an experience. The waitresses wear sailor suits and the whole interior looks like the inside of a ship. They even have a few birds inside and out to add to the ambiance. Gabriella's meal even included a drink in a skull with a cherry in the eye socket. We didn't choose Sam's only because the restaurant is great for special meals we also selected it because it shares a name with my father in law Sam. He posed with a few of the sailor suit clad waitresses as well as his lovely bride of 39 years. We all wore our Sam's by the Sea bibs and the restaurant even gave me a tea cup and saucer to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely meal and everyone enjoyed their meals and conversation flowed as easily as the beverages.
