Dining in Town

For years there has been nowhere great to eat in Wasilla. We had an awesome little place called the Alpine Garden Grill which served all sorts of "real" and delicious food but they went out of business. The food was great but the atmosphere was a little lacking. Well, someone turned one of the few original Wasilla homes into a restaurant called the Grape Tap. IT IS AMAZING.
We were part of a larger group and got to eat in the wine cellar. Awesome.

OK, yes I know this is blurry but I actually think, in this case, that it adds a little something.
The lighting is dead on and I like the blur with the lights and the wine bottles on the wall.
It was my Grandma Betty's birthday yesterday (I'm partially named after her) she died of cancer WAY too young and about a year before I was born. We went out to celebrate last night. Well, that, and Aunt Lynda was in town. That is always cause for good food.

A picture of me I don't hate. It took me until this year to figure out where I get the slight downward slant of my eyes. Look at the man next to me. I actually think I got a lot of those Vrooman genes.

This shows the room a little better but now the lighting is all wrong.
What a great night!
