Last Friday was my friend Amanda's 30th b-day. Her hubby is deployed, so she's doing the single-parent-thing with their FOUR kids! Yikes! Understandably, she was feeling kind of blue on her b-day, so a bunch of us decided to take her out for dinner, then for drinks and slots at the Club on base. It's been soooooo long since I've had a Girls' Night Out! We had a really great time!

We headed to Gratzie Gardens in Hamura for dinner. I didn't get any pictures, I was starving! By the time our food arrived, I was too busy stuffing my pie hole to take pictures. But it was totally YUM! I got the cheese fondue appetizer, the spaghetti carbonara and garlic breadsticks.

After din-din we headed back to the base to the Enlisted Club for a few drinks and to play the slot machines. I'm not a big slots player, gambling makes my stomache hurt! Risking all that money for just the slightest chance of winning? I played $1.00 on the penny machine.

We had a great time and I think we took Amanda's mind off missing her hubs for a little while. >

I can't remember the last time I actually sat a bar!
The legal drinking age in Japan, both on and off base, is 20.

We toasted Amanda's b-day with a shot called WTF (Most of you probably know what that stands for!) it was soooooo good! We were very responsible, you can see our desginated driver joining the toast.

We had 3 more shots before the night was over!

My slot machine. I didn't win a single penny!
