Memory Lane

Today i took the kids on a tour of part of my childhood.

We went to breakfast at this little cafe that my great great aunt used to eat at every day! When i was young my "auntie" baby sat me so i frequently ate there with her and her friends.


Everything from the drive, parking in our usual spot, and entering those doors flooded back fond memories.

Romeo was delightfuly surprised that i was not only taking him OUT to eat but also that i told him he can get anything he wanted. He picked french toast and i went with my regular a waffle and 1 egg over easy. The food was super yummy and the staff was friendly and our food came out quickly.

Romeo Loved his food

seriously people i was so excited to eat this i forgot to take a photo before i got started!

It was exactly as i remembered it pink flamingos and all. The decor has not changed and the owner Mike is still there, smiling and making small talk with each guest.

its a real down home type place where "everybody knows your name"

Mike still remembered me and my family he was greatful to see that i had brought my children to carry on the tradition of breakfast there.

Zaydy enjoyed playing with the butter packages... this is something i distinctly remember doing with my cousins .. we would play "hockey" with them across the table.

if you and your family would like to visit this cafe you can go to http://www.thecafehaltomcity.com/ and find everything from menu items, hours, and directions. lunch items are avaiable but the breakfast is the best.

I am going to try and make this a bi-weekly type breakfast with my kiddos. we all enjoied the time together and the place so much.
