Some Drivin' and Some Eatin' and a Teeny Bit of Shopping

Today school was canceled for Sarah and Hannah due to a power outage. That was kinda cool -- well, cool that they didn't have school -- not the power outage. 

So, Harv and I decided to each take a car and a girl and drive to La Conner for lunch. (Kill two birds -- get some driving practice in for the girls and do something fun, too!) One of my foodie friends suggested Seeds Bistro. She and I like similar stuff so I was very excited to try it.

It was so cute and it looked like I was gonna enjoy it. We got there about 11:30 before the rush, but it seemed like it took a little while for our waitress to get to us. And, truthfully, it was a little hard to get her attention when we needed to ask for something.  She wasn't a terrible server, but she seemed a little bit distracted and perhaps she didn't really LOVE serving us. Seemed a little rushed to me.

Decisions! Decisions! There were LOTS of things on the menu that piqued my curiosity. Sometimes, though, a girl needs a burger -- especially a blue cheese burger! And, this one had fried teeny weensy onions on it, too. Sounded DE-LISH. Harv ordered the meatloaf sandwich which came with a thin sliced cole slaw. Hannah got a hamburger, too and Sarah got fish and chips.

Took a while for our order to arrive, I thought. Unfortunately, I didn't specify how I wanted my burger and it was overdone for me. But those onions on top were, in fact, delicious. The fries were good, too. Harv was very pleased with his meatloaf sandwich and Sarah said the fish and chips were tasty with a light, crispy batter. Hannah's burger was kinda boring, but that's the way she likes it. ☺ Oh! And, S & H got a milkshake that hit the spot! Gotta love a chocolate malt shake!

I wouldn't say that I was WOW-ed with the restaurant, but I'm 'onna be goin' back there someday. There were other things on the menu that were calling to me.  Plus, I want to give our server (or the restaurant) another chance to show me how great it is having me there.

The BONUS for today's visit? We got to go to Re-Feather Your Nest  which is right next door (the link is to the main store in Mt. Vernon, but we went to the smaller store in La Conner). I got a fun coat rack that is now hangin' by my front door!
