First Time - Won't be the Last

Last week my husband was able to work 4 - 10's and was able to have Friday off. We had some errands to run in a small town nearby. Once we were done with our errands we were trying to figure out where to go for lunch. Well to my surprise - my husband took me to a little place that I had heard a lot about but had never been to before. It is such a neat lace to eat. Not very big but great home cooking and even free desert! I tried to take a few photos to share - this was the only one that turned out. There is a train that goes all the way around the top of the room, over bridges and in tunnels. It is so cool. I think it is also cool that in each booth there is a different clock. There are drawings of area landmarks - around the room and that is another great touch. 

As we were eating a lady working there was sitting at the table next to us doing some work. My husband told her that it was my first time there - and she shared with us that this restaurant had been around for 92 years - 40  years at the current location. What a great history for a place like this. I was very impressed. 

Oh and one of the best things about this place was that they had very reasonable prices. I love places like this that not only have a great atmosphere but that also have reasonable prices! We will be going back. 

What is funny is that when I posted on Facebook about us going here and it being my first time - a friend of mine who has lived in this area forever was shocked that I had never been before. But when I was a kid we never went out to eat. I remember one time going to a Crystals Pizza place - they had an awesome little movie room theater that showed cartoons. Anyway so there is no chance I would have went as a child and we just had not gone. It was fun to try something new. I like to do things that I like to do - but sometimes it is refreshing to the soul to do something different.

I think it also helps keep your brain active to do new things - even little things like driving a different route. Where we live - when we are going to go to a store - we usually have a choice of which town we want to go  to and several different route to each of these towns. It's just one more good way to keep your brain active.
