14 Hour Drive for Dinner

Even after our 7600 mile road trip last summer, we didn't know if we could handle a day trip with Charles. But at 8:30am last Saturday, we headed off for Whidbey Island for the reward of Gordon's cooking. Our first dining experience at "Gordon's on Blueberry Hill" was on our honeymoon, and our now 3rd annual tradition is to celebrate our Anniversary there every summer. After only 1 pit stop and a ferry ride (yes, Charles has earned his place in the family), we arrived at our 4:00pm dinner reservation.




I love road trips--yeah, that's our boy!

Our favorite dish at Gordon's is his London broil drizzled with a raspberry balsamic reduction sauce. We also enjoyed pistachio creme brulee for dessert. We arrived safely home at 12:30am, none the worse for wear. And yes, in the name of tradition and delicious food, the drive was worth it!

    I'm glad Charles was a trooper for you guys! I love his slightly dazed expression in that middle photo. :) That meal sounds delicious.
