Restaurants, Balconies & Marines

Have preteen/teen kids? Don’t take them to a restaurant with a balcony that overlooks the bar and a stage. Especially if the bar is full of Marines.

Pan and I took our kids to a local restaurant, which is always fun to go to. There was a wait so we went up to the balcony to watch the band play. This band had already dubbed the Bomb “spoiled,” and that is what they called her each time we came in. (Does that tell you how much we frequented this particular restaurant?)

But back to the balcony, we are standing there waiting for our table. Pan and I have a beer and the kids have Sprite. As I am looking over the crowd below us, I notice these Marines kept looking up to where we are standing.

Then I caught him, NavyNuke was spitting on them and hiding just before they would look up. Fortunately we got called to our table before they figured out who it was. Needless to say Nuke got a good chewing out over that one. And who knew that one day he would end up in the Navy and his brother in the Marine Corps.
