Three day weekend

I LOVE 3 day weekends! We packed in lots of fun into this one. Saturday morning we got up early & drove out to 'the islands' area. I packed up some buttermilk scrambled egg pitas for the kids to eat foo breakfast in the car.




We stopped for lunch at a historic hotel & restaurant. Sadly, the food needs loads of improvement, but the atmosphere was fun. 

  
I had tuna salad on multigrain bread with sweet potato chips. The sandwich was ok, but the chips were awful-mushy & greasy. There were a few crisp ones that I picked out, but it was a letdown.
Bubba didn't even get what he ordered & Brian's roast beef on his sandwich was beige. Ewww.

Sunday was another fun trip to The Painted Penguin. The kids love it there.  We added a puppy & a bald eagle to our ceramic menagerie.
  

And finally, my latest obessession: gilled beet & goat cheese sandwiches. I could eat these everyday of my life! I know, I'm a cheater because I use canned beets, but its just so easy!


Its not the best picture-sorry, I was busy inhaling it!  

I think next time, I'll toast up some pine nuts to mix in with the goat cheese.

It doesn't seem like the healthiest sandwich, but compared to your everyday grilled cheese, I think its an improvement!
