We took Noah to Patty's Restaurant near Kentucky Lake for Valentine's.
He had been to Grand Rivers a few times from previous vacations and had visited Patty's to play mini golf and visit the petting zoo but never to eat. We thought it would be a special treat and surprised him Saturday morning with a road trip.
He had no clue where we were going but he knew we had reservations so he said it must be "someplace fancy!" We arrived quicker than we expected so we spent some time driving around viewing the lake in the Winter, which we'd never seen. It had been four or five years since Noah had been there and he didn't remember much. He was excited to see the Dam, lighthouse, and our favorite muffin shop. We also spent some time exploring the antique stores downtown.
Watching Noah experience the meal and atmosphere at Patty's was the best part of the trip for us! He ate everything so excitedly and with such enjoyment. I asked him during the meal if this was a good Valentine's present. He commented, "Less talking, more eating!" I guess that answered my question!

He loved the fried pickles, cheese sticks, and flower pot bread. Against my suggestions, he opted for the chili burger, which ended up being bigger than his head! Surprisingly he ate 3/4 of it. His fork also roamed into my plate several times during the meal.
I don't know how he had room but he wanted dessert as well. We sat near a display and he could not get over the mile high meringue. Noah chose the Mint Boatsinker....and in the end it sunk him! About halfway through the pie, he gasped and said, "That about took my breath away!" As much as he tried, he just couldn't quite finish it all.
Even though it was snowing outside, we walked the grounds, including a quick game of outside checkers. Noah left happy as the ultimate champ. All in all, I think it ranked up there among the top Valentine's presents ever!
