Today for T stands for Tuesday I’m sharing a little snippet of a local outing the kids and went on last week.
We went to the arboretum. It was a gorgeous day. Sunny but not hot.
After walking around, snapping photos for a couple hours we headed off for lunch. We decided to try a place that we’d been very disappointed with in the past. Why would we do that? Well previously it was a dinner and it was at least 5 years ago. Why not try again? 
Little J and I really liked our meals. Big J was indifferent. His food was kind of tasteless without the specialty sauces that came with it…which he didn’t care for.
Overall it was a good experience that I’m glad we tried again…other than the price tag. Yikes! Oh well…we don’t go out that much and it’s summer. Gotta have a little fun.
I’m off to drop one at volleyball and do driving lessons with the other. I’ll be back to check in with my T stands for Tuesday friends as soon as I am able.
What are you doing today?
Love the photos and the meal looks very delicious ! Ya gotta splurge once in a while!
Your arboretum is my kind of outing! Lovely :)
Summertime treats! I like that idea.
Looks like Little J’s hair has grown quite long again. Will it be cut and donated again this year? And KIDS with cell phones! Am I the ONLY person left in this world over the age of 7 without one?
Your arboretum looks beautiful. Glad it wasn’t too hot like it has been here.
Really enjoyed the fact you gave the restaurant another chance and you weren’t disappointed. Thanks for sharing the experience with us for T this Tuesday.
BTW, since I have already taken time to water my herbs, I’m off to scoop poop, take out the trash, and finish my SOC entry. Aren’t you glad you asked (grin)?
What a wonderful place for a day out! I love gardens, though I always have to pay for it later (severe grass allergy). We have spent the entire day on airplanes and airports – presently in the Arlanda lounge waiting for the last leg of the journey to begin. We had a great holiday, though, so no complaints! Happy T-Day!
Love your photos of the arboretum… went to the arboretum in Sacramento last year and i don’t know was a little disappointed… pretty much just a path thru the trees… I think they needed some focal points…like that koi pond of yours… Sometimes i think its a good idea to give a restaurant another try… the only time i won’t is if i didn’t like it because it was dirty and i have found a few in my town here that i won’t go back to… no excuse for not being clean… Happy happy Tday! Hugs! deb
perfect outing
Your trip to the arboretum looks like fun. We have our beautiful lake to walk around, but I wish there were more flowers and different plants to enjoy. No complaints though.
Glad you gave the restaurant another try and that it wasn’t too bad this time. Hope you had a good day.
Pretty arboretum pics Halle.
I get lost in places like that happily clicking away.
Eating out can get pricey. We are very particular about where we drop our dime ;-)
Happy T Day oxo
Great arboretum pics! Good news about the restaurant improving! Eating out can be so expensive these days, we don’t mind as long as it’s good value! Happy T day! Chrisx
A lovely collage. Sounds like a fine day. Sorry your meal did not live up to hopes of improvement. Happy T Day :D
Gorgeous photos of the arboretum! and food that looks yummy….sounds like a fun day!
