どもども。
Hello there!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How's your day going today?
めいの夏休みが始まり、今年もママ友のKちゃんと一緒におうち幼稚園をしており、なかなかリア充な毎日を送っています。
My life has been more joyful and hectic since our daughter, May-chan's summer break started. My friend, K-chan, and I do home school during this vacation just as last year, which's kept us busy too.
それに加えて2ヶ月程前から、もう少し生活に運動を取り入れようと思って、5000歩程のウォーキングも始めたので、あっという間に1日が終わってしまい、なかなかブログの時間を取れずにいます。
Besides the summer home school, I've started taking a 5000-step walk as often as possible for my health, so the new habit has made my day go by quicker. Yeah, that's why I haven't found much time to update my blog lately.
とはいえ、Hit-chanにとってこのブログは大切なものなので、上手く時間と体力を調整して、コンスタントに書けるように工夫して行きたいと思っています。
Still, this blog is such a big part of my life and I want to keep it updated as constantly as possible, so I'll do my best to arrange my time and energy and make it happen for sure.
さて、今日もひとり帰国日記の続きです。
So, this is another article of my Japan trip diary.
今回の帰国中、ラッキーな事にHit-chanの父の誕生日を一緒に過ごせたので、今日はその様子を書いていきたいと思います。
During the stay, I luckily could celebrate my dad's birthday with my family, so let me talk about it today.
2月12日の父の誕生日当日。
On his birthday, February 12th.
もう3ヶ月以上前の事なので記憶がかなり薄くなっているのですが、確かこの日、父は仕事がお休みで、晩御飯を一緒に食べに行こうという話になっていました。
Well, it's already more than 3 months ago and my memories are faded, but I think that my dad was off on the day and we're going to eat out for dinner togheter.
で、父の誕生日ディナーで行ったのはこちら。
This is the restaurant that we picked up for his BD dinner.
Korean BBQ restaurant
2022年に帰国した際にも「ここ、美味しい焼肉屋さんやで～。」と名前が挙がっていたのですが、その時はAndyっちもめいも一緒だったので、妹スカッチの車だけでは全員一緒に行くのは難しいとの事で断念してたんです。
When I was in Japan back in 2022, "They're an awesome Korean BBQ restaurant!!" my family recommended me the place, but we couldn't make it. At the time Andy and May-chan were there too and we didn't have a good transportation for all 6 of us to get there at once because my sister, Skutch's car was a 5-seater.
こちらのお店、かなりの人気店らしく、事前にネットで予約をしてから行きました。
I heard that the restaurant was very popular and busy, so we'd made a reservation online beforehand.
このお店の名前、家蔵で「いえぞう」と読みそうですが、「かぐら」でし。
The name is "Kagura" by the way.
予約をしていたので、すぐに席に案内してもらい、早速メニューをペラペラ。
We could have a table right away thanks to the reservation and checked the menu.
その日のお薦めもあって、この日はこんなラインナップ。
They had a menu for specials of the day too.
Hit-chan、体外受精の治療で日本にいたので、受精卵移植まではお寿司を中心に食べまくっていたので、この帰国初の焼肉でヨダレがだらだら。(笑) 
Until I did the egg transfer in IVF treatment, I was mostly eating sushi since I knew that I wasn't able to eat raw fish after the transfer, so my mouth got water just by sitting arount the smokey smell and sizzling sound from the hibachi grills.
食べる前のウキウキ気分の2人。
Mom and I were so excited before the feast.
キムチの盛り合わせ。どれも美味しかったけど、スルメのキムチが美味！美味しかったのでキムチはおかわりしたよ。
Assorted Kimchi plate. Every kind of them was great and my favorite was the dry squid.
サンチュに巻いて食べたら、もー、旨い！！！Hit-chan、ここぞとばかりに爆食いしちゃいました。
I wrapped rice, kimchi and of grilled beef, of course, with a leaf of Korean lettuce and that was amazing!! I don't know how many of them I ate. Haha.
父へスカッチとHit-chanからのプレゼントも渡しました。
Skutch and I gave our dad a BD present at the time too.
プレゼントというか、お土産というか、Andyっちがミネソタで選んでくれたビール。
This was not a BD present, but gift from Andy. My dad's also beer lover, so Andy picked up a couple of MN local beer for him.
あとは、スカッチと一緒に久世福商店で選んだ、お酒に合いそうなおつまみ系食品いくつか。（父は大のお酒好きなのでね。）
Skutch and I picked up some snacks good with Sake because my dad's a Sake lover as well.
ちなみに、この日のお会計はバースデーボーイの父。（爆）
Oh, by the way, the birthday boy treated us that night. LOL Thank you, dad!
父の誕生日に、めちゃくちゃ美味しい焼肉と家族水入らずの時間を一緒に楽しむ事ができて本当に良かったです。
I'm just so glad that I could spend my dad's BD with him in person for the frist time in the last several years.
お父さん、70歳のお誕生日おめでとう！！お酒を飲み過ぎず、これからも元気で長生きしてね～！
Happy 70th birthday, dad!! Please don't drink too much, and live long and healthy!!
久しぶりに一緒にお祝いできた父の70歳の節目の誕生日の様子でございました。
Okay, this is all about my dad's 70th birthday. It was a great joy that I could celebrate it with him and my family in person for the first time in the last several years.
正直、親がもう70歳なのかぁと時の流れの速さにビックリしていますが、これからも出来るだけ長く楽しい時間を一緒に過ごしていけるのを祈るばかりです。
To be honest with you, I'm a little bit overwhelmed how quick time flies by facing the reality that my dad turned 70 years old, but that reminded me how important and precious it is that I spend a fun time with my family as long as possible from now on.
という訳で、今日の所はこの辺で～！読んで下さってありがとうございました！！！
Okay, this is all for today. Thank you for reading again!!! Bye for now!
