Loveless Cafe

We have done several mini/weekend trips and it is fun to explore a little. Eric sometimes gives me a hard time trying to find these "middle of nowhere" places. But if I have heard good things about it we will still go and try it out. 

 I had heard lots of good things about Loveless Cafe and decided that we would try it out for dinner. It is not too much in the middle of nowhere, but getting to it we did see a lot of nice scenery ;) 

 Of course being on a Saturday it was pretty busy and we had about an hour wait. It was nice because the motel part is no longer in operation so they have turned them into little shops. They also had games outside like corn hole that you could play while you wait. They had a fun little shop for the kids. They were able to sit at the little table and they provided coloring sheets and crayons. You could keep your pictures or give it the the cashier and they would hang it up on the wall. Thomas had one hung and took another one home. Sup chose to keep his not really understanding why you would give it away. But Thomas was happy to see his picture up on the wall for lots of people to see. 

 I of course was more interested in the market they had. I was a little hesitant in getting jam. I grew up on homemade jam and I think I have only picked up many 2 jars of jam/jelly in my lifetime and it tasted  terrible both times and just asked my parents to send me some. But when I looked at the blackberry jam it had simple ingredients: blackberries and sugar. So I thought maybe it can live up to my jam/jelly expectations, which are set pretty high. We were able to get some at dinner and both Eric and I LOVED it. It was great jam, we were not too crazy about the strawberry, so we were both very happy we went with the blackberry!

We still had a few minutes before our table was ready, so we sat out on the picnic table for a bit. The boys got these two dollar keychains from the kid place and it was a very good money spent. Since the table had a hole in the center, I imagine for like an umbrella. They would pull the string on the animal ( Sup got a cow and Thomas got a sheep) and see if it would "run" into the hole and "die". Then they would get under the table and do it all over again. This kept their attention until our table was ready :)
