Patrick was sick at the end of the last school year and he missed his fifth grade recognition. I promised him that we would take him out to dinner to celebrate, and three short months later, we came through on the promise. Patrick is an avid soccer fan and loves all things European, so we took him to Gibson City to the Bayern Stube. I highly recommend this German restaurant for a special outing for kids. The walls are full of interesting collections, such as colorful steins, coffee grinders, dolls, clothing, and mounted animals. Sometimes they even have an accordion player for entertainment. And the food? It’s delicious. Hot cheese pretzels, spaetzle (noodles), strudel, and, of course German Chocolate cake. I think Patrick would say it was worth the wait.
