Cracker Barrel

Last weekend Mon Amour and I went to Cracker Barrel with my parents to celebrate dad's birthday.

These are my parents:

In this photo, dad is taking advantage of one of the many great reasons to go to Cracker Barrel: the little peg jumping game that you get on your table. Good times. There is also the over sized checkers boards scattered around, but our food came too quickly, so we were not able to take advantage of that one.

Cracker Barrel was a family vacation tradition for my family. I had not been for a long time and had forgotten why I liked it. There are many reasons...but here are 2 of the top reasons:

The Root Beer.

Stewart's. Yum



The biscuits.

Hands down, yummiest biscuits anywhere.
The onion rings are quite tasty too.

Additionally - they serve downright enormous portions. Dad had room for dessert, but that is because he works 20 hour days and tries to sleep the other 4, leaving no room for eating. So he has to make up for it at some point.

After dinner(once we could move again, which took a little while considering all the food), we went to a nearby park and walked around. Mon Amour took pictures, I chatted with the parents.

It was a beautiful evening.

Mon Amour took a bunch of cool "Artistic" photos - which may become the subject of a future post since they will be fun to edit. But for now, here is just a sample, un-edited.

We walked some more, talked some more. Then eventually it was time to call it a day. It was approaching 8pm, and given dads horrendous work schedule, he also has to catch up on sleep whenever he can. This means that 8pm is bed time. So we called it a day.

In fact, we called it a very enjoyable day.
