Mom’s 75th Birthday at Benu in SF

by

Grace invited my parents to come visit for a couple weeks to help out during a busy time. Both mom and dad have been working hard for the kids and us. One benefit of the timing was being able to celebrate my mom’s 75th birthday together. We wanted to do something special, so I made a reservation at Benu in San Francisco, which I’ve been wanting to try. On a whim, I invited Jen to join us, too, and she made it happen as a surprise.

Everything came together yesterday as Jen arrived from NYC and we all met in SF for one of the best meals of our lives. My mom enjoys food and cooking, so I think the experience was appreciated by her. I have no idea what compels me to take photos of all the food, except that each course was as beautiful to behold as it was to eat (I think I even missed a course or two). It was a memorable experience indeed and we’re so thankful to have been able to celebrate together with Jen.

Happy Birthday, to our wonderful mother who is beautiful inside and out. We’re all so fortunate to call you mom, grandma and wife.
