I couldn't believe Alex was turning 17! It seemed he was a tiny toddler, not so many years ago.
Inna and I decided to surprise him with a few presents.
Since Alex has developed a passion for surfing, I indulged him with a lightly used Firewire Tomo v4 LFS 6' surfboard. It's a small, 6-foot shortboard/fish with excellent speed for carving waves in Santa Cruz or Southern California.
In addition, I decided to get him a used CarveBoard - a skateboard with large wheels expressly developed to improve his surfing technique. To help prevent injury, I also purchased knee/elbow/wrist guards, as well as padded skateboarding shorts.
I ordered a Pizza My Heart Manresa Pizza (via DoorDash) with 3 Greek Salads for dinner. In addition, Inna purchased a custom cake, deliciously baked and beautifully decorated with a surfboard on top. It was not only beautiful but delicious, too!
We ate out on Saturday, August 2, at Billy's Boston Chowder House in Los for the actual birthday dinner, Gatos. We had appetizers, and we ordered various soups. I selected the Manhattan Clam Chowder, and it was tolerable. Alex tried the New England Clam Chowder, and he liked it a lot. Inna's Lobsta Bisque was genuinely delicious and the best-tasting soup of the three.
Alex ordered English Fish and chips, which he enjoyed. I selected the Beer-Battered Prawns with coleslaw and corn on the cob. I enjoyed my deliciously battered prawns. The coleslaw was a bit sweeter than I expected, but the corn on the cob was perfectly cooked. Inna ordered the baked Lobster special and really enjoyed it
The lemonade was not the most flavorful (it tasted like HiC), but the ambiance and experience were delightful. We will surely be back for more.
