Parade of Ponds

Julianne and I had an awesome day together! This past week she won tickets to the Parade of Ponds, a one-day event consisting of a self-guided tour of 12 man-made ponds, streams, and waterfalls in the community. We had a blast driving around finding the homes and enjoying their ponds, imagining what it would be like to sit on each deck and sip morning coffee with the sound of running water and the beauty of the ponds, most of which were home to very cool-looking fish.

At lunchtime I let her choose a restaurant and she opted for a place we'd never been before. It's called Su-Min's and advertises serving Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine, as well as having a sushi bar. We were looking forward to trying Korean, only to find they only have one dish on the menu, and it didn't sound particularly good. So I settled on the Teriyaki Chicken Vegie Bowl (delicious!) and Julianne ordered--are you ready for this?--a Sushi Combination plate. It included California rolls (vegie & rice), tuna sushi (raw!), and flying fish egg sushi (I kid you not). She liked all three varieties, although she said the fish eggs had a weird texture. She is an adventuresome eater!
