Family on the Town

Since D's only in town for about a week before jetting off on another tour, we've been celebrating our short time together eating out as a family. It's so nice to be waited on, and to not have the clean-up after preparing a meal at home. Last night we were a little aimless in our plan, but decided to head down to Ballard, a favorite destination and home to many fantastic restaurants. On our way, Dick's caught our eye, cheap, delicious, and a unique dinning experience in and of itself, as it's a drive-in, good for people watching. Because my family 's from Seattle, it's a well known local treat. When they first opened my dad could buy a burger for .19 cents, you could easily eat a great fast-food meal for under $1. Even yesterday as we shoved hot greasy fries down our throats and guzzled cold sodas, we only spent $12, for everyone to eat their fill. E's only eaten there twice in her existence, but it's nice to know that some things, are likely to still be around when she's grown.
