We woke up Friday to more rain. We all squeezed into the tent trailer for breakfast (that's 6 people, two dogs and a rabbit in a cage), played about ten rounds of Husker Du (a memory game) and then decided we'd had enough of feeling soggy, so we hopped in the car and headed for Enumclaw. By the time we got there it was lunch time, so we went to Charlie's Cafe that advertised giant cinnamon rolls. Turns out Charlie was a Charlotte and her granddaughter was our waitress. Our Charlie was very pleased to tell her her name. It was a very cute little family-run diner and we really enjoyed our lunch. Alas, they no longer make giant cinnamon rolls, but there was an old car club that was eating there at the same time, so we got to check out their cars.
We also poked around a grocery outlet store and that was fun seeing all the bargains they had on organic and odd foods. I wish we had one closer to us as I'd definitely shop there. As it was, Chris and my dad had to drag me out of there.
Back at camp we started up our campfire and made ham and sweet potato packets. They were pretty good, but the girls' favorite part of the meal was when I remembered I'd bought crescent rolls. We cooked a few of them in the pie iron, then started rolling them around our special metal biscuit-making stick. Then my dad had an idea of rolling them around chocolate and marshmallows. It turned out looking like a meteorite, but tasted good. It was a fun ending to the day.
