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.

A Visit to the Washington State Fair on Opening Day

 

What a view from the Ferris Wheel at the WA State Fair! 


It's that time of year again. It's fair time! The Washington State Fair in Puyallup is back September 1-24th. We went yesterday for the first day. Kids enter for free all weekend. My sons and I love fair rides, and we couldn't wait to ride some! They also have new food this year. We tried the Churros from Churreria. They had multiple types of churros. We had ours filled with chocolate. This was probably the best churro we've tried. It was super fresh, thick, and we loved the chocolate filling. 

They also have some new rides and attractions. They have balls where you can ride inside and float on water. Not for us, but fun to watch other floating. We always enjoy seeing the animals. The horses, goats, and llamas are cool to see. My son and I rode the Ferris Wheel and loved the views of the whole fair. For dinner, we had some eats from Kamaaina Grill. We tried some Spam Musubi and Huli Chicken. The portions were enough for two and really decent for fair food! Then we ended on a sweet note with a Dole Whip!
