Scott was really clever, because I seriously had no idea what was planned. I really thought he might be taking me out to eat, but then when he got home he asked what we were having for dinner. Which of course…I had nothing planned, because I had assumed we were eating out. 🙂
He then just says, “Don’t worry about it, we will just pick up something fast on the way.” So now my mind is really wondering and trying to figure out what were going to do.
So the wonderful babysitter comes….Patty Tolbert, and we head out the door. As we are riding down Capital Blvd. HWY 1, all the places I had in mind where we might be going, just kept passing us by. He really had me guessing!
Finally we take a turn…onto Milbrook(I still don’t know where we are going) then onto Old Wake Forest Road (I still have no clue)…We keep driving and he whips into this shopping center and I still can’t figure it out.
Then my eyes saw it, and an angelic choir began to sing (Not really, but let me just enjoy this moment!) ……
KANKI- Japanese Steak House!!!
When we lived in Greenville, one of our favorite places to go was Kanpai of Tokyo. We love Japanese food! My sweet husband found a Japanese Steak House here in North Raleigh and decided to surprise me. I thought it was so sweet and it totally did surprise me!
However, I think he got a lot out of this surprise too! He loved Kanki and commented about how it was the best Japanese he had ever had. We also had this awesome chef that could do some incredible tricks.
It was a wonderful date with great food, but the best part for me was spending time with my husband who I am so in love with!
Scott did say that if I originally thought he was taking me somewhere to eat…it didn’t say much about his creativity. But I beg to differ….he knows how much I love and enjoy eating! I think his gesture was very thoughtful!
Now if we can only find a Raleigh version of Greenville’s Lieu’s- Chinese Bistro….then we will be set!
