On the third Sunday of June, many countries celebrate Father’s Day. Its origine is not sure. In the United States, some say it was suggested by Ms. Sonora Smart Dodd in Washington State in 1910. Others say it was suggested by Ms. Grace Golden Clayton in West Virginia in 1908. Whoever had the idea, today Fathers are honored on the third Sunday of June. The third Sunday was officially designated by President Lyndon Johnson by executive order in 1966.
On May 2, 2018, my work unit organized a team building trip to Dave & Buster’s located on 7025 Salisbury Rd in Jacksonville. At D&B, I enjoyed the combo eat and play for 30 dollars. My plate was made of Fire Grilled Salmon with Sauteed Spinach and Spicy Rice. The whole meal counted 700 calories, 750 mg of sodium, 22g of Carbs, and 35g of protein. We had fun for an hour after the meal moving from games to games including driving, basketball, and air hockey. I did not play for rewards. Beside the salt in the food which was more than i put in my home food, everything else was wonderful. I will recommend Dave & Buster’s to anyone who needs to play and relax.
