Our boss didn't make it into work (home sick) and we hope he feels better but Arsalan and I were in the mood for an afternoon lunch adventure so we headed to the Wilmington Riverfront. We had Joe's Crabshack in mind but then decided on a new place that has just been open 3 weeks - Del Pez Mexican GastroPub. What a good vibe with their welcome and decor when we entered! And especially when we checked out the menu. Our waitress, Katelyn, was a lot of fun and very helpful helping us to order. Arsalan and I wanted to try everything so we'll be back! They have home-made guacamole and we tried their Diablo choice - hot and with crab meat. They also have home-made cocktails that we need to try when we not on work hours :-) Many of their dishes used pomergranates for a burst of flavor that I thought was very creative.
Tae Kwon Do and then we relaxed the rest of the evening. TGIF :-0 And I am in a reminscent mode since Facebook reminded me that on February 3, 2013, I posted:
Some of you may know (and some do not since I have kept this private) that I had submitted an adoption application to Costa Rica in May 2010. My application in Costa Rica was accepted in December 2011. I received a referral in this past June for a then 7 year old boy (he is now 8) named Kendall Alejandro. I accepted the match in July and since then have been completing the paperwork to go to Costa Rica to complete the adoption. Everything has been scheduled and I leave for Costa Rica on Saturday, February 9. My court date in Costa Rica Is February 25. I will be in Costa Rica for approximately one month. I will be blogging about the adoption and the website is the theradwickchante.blogspot.com. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. No gifts please but if you would like to send a card, he can open them when we get back and I can slowly introduce everyone to him.

2017 is our 4 year anniversary. I can't even explain the blessing that is Kendall.
Buenas noches!
