Mother-In-Law

[livejournal.com profile] khristle is at the airport right now as we speak picking up her Mother, who is flying in from Ohio to stay with us for two weeks! I really, really, REALLY like my Mother-In-Law for a variety of reasons. First of all, she lives several bazillion miles away in Ohio, ALWAYS a plus for gettign along with the In-Laws :) Second, she's scarred of me. We have a good relationship thanks to FEAR!

So during these two weeks we hope to take her to the following restaurants/locations:
  • Anacortes (my home town)
  • Mount Vernon (to meet my parents)
  • Bucca di Beppo (our favorite Italian restaurant)
  • Chang's Mongolian Grill (always a good time there)
  • Dicks (because what good is a trip to Seattle without a trip to Dicks?)
  • Mr. Bill's (So she can meet our favorite comfort food, The Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast Platter)
  • Chinese Buffet (either Chef Chen or Super China, not sure which one yet)

...And if time and attitudes permit, possibly a trip to The Crab Pot. Although she's not a huge fan of seafood... matter of fact, she rather hates the stuff. But c'mon... you're in SEATTLE! You've gotta try some seafood here!

Elliot's Oyster House, yeah... good for if you really appreciate good food, but The Crab Pot is great as an experience all in its own! It's kind of like a Fondue Restaurant or a Mongolian Grill just because it's so different and unique. Sitting there on the dock with the sea-air wafting over you as you pull various local seafoods from a big pile in front of you... no plated, no traditional silverware, it's all just very *Tribal* and something that I think everybody should experience at least *once*.
