Popping in from the Rurality Blog Hop and a new follower...<br /><br />Sounds like a great time with such beautiful scenery.<br /><br />Just the other day I was telling my hubby that I no longer enjoyed going out to eat. I'm not sure if it's the prices, the food quality or the lack of food choices for us. Who knows?! Maybe I'm just getting old and prefer my own cooking. Problem is, I'd like a day off from it and the only way to do that is to go out to eat! Such a dilemma, lol!Gone Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044426675150865698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-56020188769038864292013-02-19T15:46:04.064-08:002013-02-19T15:46:04.064-08:00You're definitely not strange!

We get together and all toss $5 into the pot to pay for ingredients and I make a meal for everyone. We were talking about going out to the Keg for dinner soon as we just got one here but were saying how hard it is to spend $35 on a meal when we can make dinner for 8 of us for that.

The last time we went out of town, we rented a little cottage instead of a hotel room so we could have the comfort of a home and cook our own food. We have done that on past vacations too and it's our favorite. No more eating less than great food in crowded, expensive restaurants for us, either.

Was never huge on eating out, but enjoy it even less now. Then $$ spent on it drives me crazy when I know I could do it myself and enjoy prob just as much if not more! <br />Wonderful getaway-aren't you thankful for your little tail-ender??

It costs so much less and we enjoyed that too. :) We have noticed the people around us sometimes are very loud. All in all eating out is fun once in a while but we like the savings, and the quiet, as the evenings are short.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287238810628574373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-82400959692188241492013-02-18T16:43:08.702-08:002013-02-18T16:43:08.702-08:00You're not weird.

I like eating out every once in a while, but this eating out is killing me...U'll be so glad when our kitchen is usable again! <br />Happy you enjoyed your weekend away. Our girls have been in different school systems for seven years, and they've only had spring break the same week only once. It's hard for us to travel together, too, that's why se started going on vacation @ Christmas.<br /><br />xo,<br />RJRicki Treleavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363865916909018452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-63521245898768732262013-02-18T16:11:32.515-08:002013-02-18T16:11:32.515-08:00Looks lovely!!
