Dining Criteria

 
I always really enjoy looking a pictures of people's fancy food on Facebook.   We have not posted food pictures, nor even thought to take any.  Fine diners we are not, though we do have some criteria for where we have dinner.  First, there is a no fast food rule---no McDonalds, Burger King, or the like.  It has to be at least one step up from that--like Perkins or Applebees.
 
But mostly our primary dining requirement is proximity.  After we have arrived at our destination, after being on the road much of the day,  going out and driving again and finding a restaurant is absolutely the last thing on our list of things to do.  We have just unload the car, unpacked our necessities for the night, and we are tired.
 
So, that means that we are looking for a place to eat which is actually in the hotel, or within walking distance of the hotel, or some place that you can actually see from the hotel.  That is how discerning we have been.
 
However, we find that it seems to be the norm nowadays that your hotel offers a full continental breakfast.  Continental now means a buffet with something for every taste, from waffles to cereal to eggs, to sausage--you name it.  So we eat a good breakfast;  we pretty much do coffee and snacks along the way during the day.
 
We do eventually get hungry,  but not enough to go looking for a fancy restaurant.
 
Fine dining is on the agenda in Seattle, for sure!
