Hard Rock

So the other week Dan had to work a little later than he normally does, which meant that he would miss all the shuttles to get him home. He can catch a taxi, but they are not thrilled with coming out to where we live in the middle of rush hour. So, the kids and I decided to go down, meet him at work and then do dinner out downtown. We have quite a few friends who have been to the Hard Rock Cafe Bangkok and love it (good food, great with kids, reasonable prices)...so we decided to try it out! It's not too far from Dan's work and is easy to get to by the Sky Train (which the kids love riding) so it worked out well!

We got there and got seated. They brought out a balloon for each of the kids, a kids menu, a pack of crayons, a Hard Rock Cafe pin and a set of rub-on tattoos for each kid! We ordered a fancy cheeseburger for Dan, a Cobb salad for me, 2 macaroni and cheese's for the big kids and a hot dog for Kylie. Plus 3 lemonades and 2 cokes. The kids did not like the macaroni and cheese (which tasted like it had wine in it? It was like my Mom's Cheese Rarebit, which I love, but which is freaky to serve kids with noodles in it). My salad was fine but not great and Dan's burger was okay. The total bill came to 2200B or $64.71. !!!!! Then, I guess as part of the bill, we were given 3 kid's cups to take home and 2 souvenir glasses for Dan and I. Definitely the last time we go there. :-/

So we left there and decided to walk around a bit...through some fun streets we had not been down before with fun stores...

We have friends here who like games. More than Dan and I do and thought they would appreciate the "nail service & strategist club" sign.

Miss Kylie saw this cool chef guy and wanted her picture taken...


Then got the other 2 to get in with her. So then after this street, we walked downs some back streets and thought we could cut through an area to get out to the road by Dan's work and not have to take the Sky Train...turns out we were wrong. We walked. And walked. And walked. And ran into massive amounts of bugs. And walked. And realized we were stuck inside the Royal Thai Police Headquarters. And walked. And I made them take this next picture...


And walked some more and finally got to Dan's road where his work is off of! By the time we got to his work to get the car, we were all grumpy, soaked with sweat and exhausted. Not exactly the plan we had for the night, but good to check off the Hard Rock Cafe on our "to do" list. Done once and won't be going back :)
