Yah, this is where blogging seems a bit, well, boring. Not for me - I love to write about whatever - but for you, poor reader. Alas, all we really did today was go out as a family (for once), eat, do an errand, and then grocery shop at Walmart, of all godforsaken places. And then we came home, put away the groceries, made drinks (because we're on vacation - duh!), made dinner, and attempted to entertain our kids without too much effort on our parts . . .
So, the eating part -- we ate at Martinsburg's La Trattoria - the highest rated restaurant for that fair city on Tripadvisor. Our young waiter Sebastian was a gracious gentleman, who catered to our every need -- want a meatball instead of meat sauce? Sure, kid - not a problem. Want french fries instead of salad or the yummy house Italian Marriage Soup? Sure, sir - I'd be happy to. Want me to heat up half that cake to make your girls happy while you get your cold cake and eat it, too? No problem. Seriously, the best little before-dinner rolls EVER. We threw down two baskets-full before our steak-n-cheese paninis and spaghettis came. The decor was - um, very peachy and Kelly green - but its location (on Rt. 9 just off Rt. 81 around the corner from the Girl Scout shop) and easy parking made up for that. I think we'll do that joint again.
And the shopping part -- I thought G had made a wrong turn toward Hagerstown's Walmart instead of Martinsburg's, but, no, he was headed to Spring Mills. I know - Walmart-talk on a blog. Geez. But seriously, of all Walmarts, this one is worth the chatter. It's very new and very convenient and I always forget about it. Apparently, so do a lot of people because it's never busy. Love it.
And, finally, the child entertainment part:
