Great restaurant

We went big girl bed shopping yesterday morning, and while we didn't find one, we did find a great restaurant that is now tops on our list. It is Wood Ranch Bar and Grill. Chris wanted to go to a place where we could sit down and order, and we happened to drive past the place and thought we'd try it out.

We got in just before the lunch rush, which is always nice. The first thing was that the hostess gave us two white napkins folded up with adult silverware (a fork and a steak knife) and one red napkin folded up with kid silverware (a smaller, kid-sized fork and a spoon), along with the kid menu Emma could color on and 4 crayons.

She also asked if we would like a complimentary toddler plate. We didn't know what it was, exactly, but we said yes because who passes up a complimentary anything? They brought out a small plate with a small cup of Cheerios, two slices of fresh orange and one tiny banana. I've never seen bananas that small. It was a whole banana, but it was just the right size for a little one. I need to find out where to get those!

So that alone made Wood Ranch a great place, but the food was fantastic. I had grilled salmon and steamed broccoli (Emma ate a lot of my broccoli. She loves broccoli. It's crazy.). Chris had tri-tip and a loaded baked potato. Emma had grilled cheese and mashed potatoes. All of it was really, really good.

So, for all who live out here in Cali (I think Wood Ranch is in CA only), go to Wood Ranch. If any of you come out to visit us, we'll probably take you there. :)

That's all for now. More later.

Funny Emma quote of the day: (Holding up a large piece of broccoli) "That's a big tree!"
