Kiki's Last Dinner in Hawaii

It's Kiki's last night here with us.  Trey was really craving some Italian food so we decided to go try a place called Buca di Beppo that I had heard great things about.  Aunt Terry decided to sit this dinner out and just have some left over lasagna.  I wasn't exactly sure how dinner was going to go because we were leaving later than normal and Riley hadn't taken a nap.  Luckily when we arrived at the restaurant we only had to wait about 3 minutes for a table.  The hostess asked if we had eaten there before and I replied no.  Little did I know that answer got us a tour through the kitchen.  It was really cool and Trey loved every moment of the tour.  Trey and I haven't been able to find a good Italian restaurant since we've lived here and the second we sat down at our table Trey knew we found a great spot.  Buca di Beppo is family style dining, so the portions are huge.  A small order feeds 2-3 people.  Of course instead of us splitting our meals, we all order something different.  Needless to say we had leftovers for days!  Even Riley's kid sized spaghetti was enough to feed an adult.  The food was pretty good and it was a really cool atmosphere.  But our children weren't really cooperating during dinner and Trey wasn't feeling so hot from the medicine he took so we pretty much ate and ran.  It was fun to experience a new restaurant though.  Next time we'll get there earlier and when both girls have napped!
