Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don’t think it was worth the price. I’m grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.

I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn’t have to worry about work today.

    Mine was good, went to a Nepali food festival for lunch which was cool because I’ve never had Nepali food before. Then went to the carnival that’s in town for a few weeks. Took my 3 and a half year old son on his first Carnival ride and he loved it.

    Went home after and barbecued shrimp skewers and corn on my new BBQ while having a gin and tonic.

      Nice! Is there a particular gin you like? Hendricks is the go-to for my wife and I, but I recently found a Japanese gin made with yuzu that’s pretty good.

        I also like Hendricks. I’m more of a whisky drinker but I usually keep a few bottles of gin on hand. The ones I have right now are Hendricks neptunia(this is what I had on Father’s Day), Hendricks lunar and nikka Japanese gin.
