The rest of the world may have been off making tributes and marching in parades, but I chose to spend my time at one of my favorite places- the Barn Restaurant!
Tucked away in rural Smithville, OH, this barn-turned-restaurant holds so many wonderful memories for me. Besides special dinners there with the family, we've had a homeschool field trip down there for their annual corn maze. Also, I chose to have my 16th birthday party in one of its many quiet dining rooms. Ever since I can remember, I've loved that place. I wish I had more pictures, particularly of the outside, but it was a really cold day and I didn't feel like spending any extra time outside!
The star feature of the restaurant is its magnificent salad bar. I love how they have every topping known to man, from diced ham to sunflower seeds. My other personal favorites are their delicious cheesy broccoli soup and cake-like blueberry bread. The only problem this last time was that I couldn't really eat them! (Noodles and bread aren't on my eating plan!) Thankfully, the others ate my share.

Here I am smiling with anticipation at my succulent salad!

No trip to the Barn is complete without a stop into the toy store! Tanya was thrilled to be able to get this Calico Critter set
Anna's expression says "Mom, not another photo!" For the record, the ice cream I'm holding is NOT mine- it belonged to the photographer (Mom)!
Since Anna probably isn't thrilled that I posted a rather strange picture of her, I'll make amends by putting up this "normal" one of her and William. Love you, sis!
