2016 Birthday Road Trip

by Leave a Comment

Goodland, Kansas water towerWe asked Augie what he wanted to do for his birthday and the result of that conversation was…

Road trip to Kansas! (Goodland, Kansas to be more specific.) Hitting the road yesterday it quickly morphed into a fun Pokémon Go-related visit to Pokéstops between here and there. Instead of reposting all the pictures here, below is my public timeline on Facebook that documents the what/when/where. 🙂

We were tuckered by the time we got home (late)…but I think birthday treks are in our future going forward. 🙂

I think I’ll call this one “Augie’s First Annual Birthday Road Trip (and Pokéstop & Pokémon Hunt).”

Without further ado…Continue Reading

The DT Stampede Bar & Grill

by 3 Comments

The DT StampedeI’ve been meaning to write about a local restaurant Michelle and I first discovered when we wanted to eat somewhere new on Valentine’s Day. We love Strasburg’s offerings, but wanted something different…and not by heading toward Aurora.

DT Stampede's bar in the backMichelle had heard nice feedback about The DT Stampede Bar & Grill…so we hopped into the car and buzzed 18 miles east to Deer Trail. We couldn’t have been happier. Why?

Well, the food is good to great to begin with…and the prices are reasonable. However, the thing that sold us most on it was the friendliness of the staff and the family atmosphere. The owners were as congenial as they come, and it rubbed off on their staff…which may or may not be another family member. 🙂

Large room in back of DT StampedeThey also have a pool table in the front bar, so yesterday afternoon Augie and zipped over there for a couple games. Sadly, it was already in use…and then Steve (one of the husband/wife owners) told us there were two more tables out back. Go figure, there is a huuuuuuuge bar in the back. As you can see, we took Steve up on his offer to play there:Continue Reading

The Pizza Shop

by Leave a Comment

4 1/2 bullsI could probably live off pizza…well, if I was willing to be 500 pounds. 🙂

The Pizza ShopNot only could I live off pizza, I’ve worked for a pizza restaurant (delivery) and a good friend of mine back in New Hampshire owns a pizzeria. I know good pizza and I know bad pizza…

And The Pizza Shop has great pizza!

What makes it more incredible that I can say that is I am more of a thick crust type (“pan pizza”) and The Pizza Shop pizzas have a thin crust…but…well…mmm… 🙂

Good Eatin’ (The Patio Cafe)

by Leave a Comment

The Patio CafeWe’ve already had a few meals in Strasburg, and two have them have been at The Patio Cafe right downtown (56471 East Colfax Avenue). Last week it was breakfast, this week lunch.

It’s been a long day…so I’m not going to try to say much more than it’s worth every $$$ you will spend there. The food is appetizing, the atmosphere is hometown-ish, and the service is both great and friendly.

I haven’t yet figured out how I will rate establishments on Strasburg Rocks!, but if it were stars I would probably give The Patio 4 out of 5.Continue Reading
