Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #6



Amanda and I love going on outings. Recently, the weather was really nice and so we decided to try a nearby pizza place that I had heard of more than a year ago. I didn’t even know the restaurant’s name, only that we had to turn left at a T-junction and it was just a little bit further on. Thankfully we saw the sign, because it was really weather-beaten and easy to miss. The sign said, "Calabash." Once we looked around, it was easy to see how the restaurant got its name, because there were bunches of calabashes hanging from the outside beams.

This photo is of Amanda with her sister, Samantha. You can see some of the calabashes too. Hubby took this photo.

Here's Amanda with her dad. Look how close we were to this mountain. The views on either side were breathtaking! The highest mountain behind me still had some snow on it.
Something else I knew about the place before we got there was that you eat outside. While we were there, a number of bikers also arrived. It was obviously a well-liked place for people who enjoy the outdoors. I think our pictures speak for themselves.


Now, on to the blog hop...

    Thanks for doing this! I have a horrible time with buttons. The last time I tried to post a button I was unable to get to my blog for days. This time there is no button, but if you click anywhere on my post it will bring you here! I need to take a class...

    Thanks! I'll check out your blog later today. Until you're able to find out the best way to grab the button, then I'm happy for you to just link the name of this hop to my site on your post. The idea is to get the word out. Have a lovely Sunday!
    What a beautiful place to eat lunch!
