After church today (see previous blog), we did some shopping and then headed to Hibachi Rock in Allen for Clarissa’s birthday.  She turned 13 this week.  I can’t believe she’s already that old…how quickly time flies. 

With this birthday, Kathy is now the mother of a teenager, and my prayers go out to her.  *smiles*  The odd thing for me was the realization that if I’d had a child at the same time as Kathy and Laura H., then I would also be the mother of a teenager — isn’t that a weird thought?

Anyway, I’d never been to Hibachi Rock before, but it was great.  Hibachi Rock is a sushi bar and grill.  None of us are sushi fans, so we opted for the “grill” part of the restaurant.  It’s a Japanese steakhouse, similar to Benihana.  Dinner started with salad followed by miso soup.  Then the cook came out and put on a great little show for us.  The kids loved it and so did the adults.  The food was outstanding — a little pricey, but good.  If you are looking for a fun dining experience, you should check it out.
