Mother's Day Weekend Brunch at The Garrison

  Two mouthwatering brunch dishes from The Garrison in Ballard.  For Mother's Day weekend, my family and I dined at The Garrison . This is a locally owned Oyster and Seafood house located in Ballard. I started with a Sunset Espresso Martini. This had Amaro, Licor 43, Cold Brew, and Boomsma Herbal. I didn't really enjoy their version of the drink, and I should have known by reading the ingredients it would be different than the classic cocktail made with espresso. Unfortunately, we didn't really care for my husband's drink, an Almond Croissant Sidecar either. This had a bunch of ingredients and featured Cognac, but we didn't find it very tasty.

A Few More Highlights From Seaside

Like usual when I finish my last post from a trip, I'm always sad to be done posting about it.  So I'm doing a bonus post from our trip to Seaside featuring some highlights and things I didn't post about in the previous six posts.  It gives me a little conclusion and wrap-up and you get to see more photos.  It's a win-win.  Enjoy!


On the second day of our trip to Seaside we checked out the Seaside Aquarium.  It's always a fun time and we loved seeing the Sea Lions!

Some seashells we purchased from the gift shop at the aquarium, for the boy's rock and shell collection. 

In Astoria, we climbed all 164 steps to the top of the Astoria Column! The views were very pretty from the top, but a little windy. 




Even rainy days are fun when you're on a trip.  Luckily, it only rained a few days and we were able to enjoy some sun!


The carousel at the Carousel Mall on Broadway in Seaside was a blast for us and the kids!   

No visit to Seaside is complete without doughnuts from Dundee's. 

The Halloween decorations around the town were so cute!


Our family had such a good time at the arcade in Seaside, Funland.


The weekend brought many more visitors to the beach!

A visit to Sal's Pub for a Lemon drop cocktail was just the thing and gave me a little me time. 

Until next time, Seaside, Oregon!
