Last March 28 was a very special day for our family because we celebrated Zoe’s 18th birthday. It is an important milestone for Zoe as she turns young adult.
Because of our busy schedule, March 29, Sunday was the only day that our families completed. Zoe chose where she wanted to celebrate and we wanted her day to feel memorable.
Z picked a restaurant named Bong Thai, a Thai and Japanese food restaurant. And they also serve a mix of Asian dishes like Korean, Chinese and Indian food.
It’s perfect for our family because everyone can try different flavors.
Since our lunch reservation was at 12 noon and we reached the restaurant early. As no other guests had arrived yet, and I spent some time capturing photos of the interior. It immediately caught our attention the vibrant décor and splash of colors.
I love the beautiful Asian-inspired illustrations on the walls with large artistic designs with glowing neon lights. It felt more lively and modern in the restaurant.
As time went by, Babi and Dedo came and then my brother in law and his family.
The room was ready and with a red background and glowing neon lights felt more warm.
Z posted in front of the beautiful wall.
Everyone arrived, fell in line and started giving birthday wishes to z and gifts. After that, we sat in our seats and checked what's on the menu.
As we sat together around the table, we ordered food, shared stories, laughter, and plans this summer.
Then, our food was ready, we prayed before the meal and sang a birthday song to Z. I just took the photo I ordered and all of us enjoyed our delicious Asian food.
After our delicious lunch, we ordered coffee and wrapping up a simple celebration for Z.
Celebrating with family made Z’s 18th birthday more special. It felt more emotional and joyful seeing Z growing into a young adult. Just chase your dreams Z and we're always here for you.
