We were living in San Francisco at the time, in the Fort Mason neighborhood on the north shore of the peninsula (http://bit.ly/2ZpcIp), and the four of us would walk west across the hard flat park in front of the international hostel, then down a steep hill and across a much bigger and greener park to the busy intersection of Laguna and Bay, where there was a Round Table Pizza restaurant nestled underneath some walk-up apartments. Mom and Dad would share a few beers while my brother and I would pour quarters into an arcade driving game that had a real steering wheel and accelerator pedal. We'd get one large pizza and all have a couple of slices. Dad was in the army, and Mom sometimes worked, so this was our big night out. Good times. I think it's great that you're creating and nurturing these family traditions, Megan, even if Reese won't remember them all way down the road, I think the stability and family bonding that is being now created will have long-lasting (if anonymous) benefits. I hope he looks back and says, I had a happy childhood that was marked by love and stability in the home. That's my hope for you guys! We had a pizza Friday tradition when I was in middle school.
