Tag: Olive Garden

Sophia and I had our last US meal at Olive Garden before our flight to Vietnam.  I wanted to reward her for being a trouper with immunizations.  She got her shot first, and when I asked if she need me to hold her hand, she responded, “No Mommy, I got this!”.  She then came over and held my had while I got shots, and then I went white in the face after one of them, to which she proceeded to take care of me.  It’s amazing how much of an adult she can be sometimes.  Makes me so proud.  I told her she was brave and she took the opportunity to ask to go to Olive Garden, and so I happily obliged. Being my daughter, she felt the Band-Aid was too plain and decided to make it more colorful by coloring it with crayon.

We then proceeded to have a blueberry limonata which was “mine” but Sophia pretty much drank most of it, so I had the water and taste of the limonata.  She also took advantage of my proud moment to ask me for dessert and of course I said yes.

Our meal started with the chicken and gnocci, with a ton of cheese.  The waiter did a good job of catering to her wishes and then we had the tour of Italy and finished our meal off with a s’more cake, which was absolutely delicious.  We must do that again when we are back in the states.
