Dining al fresco
Posted By pamelamyers on July 28, 2016
Last night we dined al fresco, right in Springfield! The owner of Springfield Pasta Company and Thunderbird Pizza approached the township about closing Saxer Avenue for a night and allowing the merchants there to set up tables and have an outside dining event. It was so much fun! There was live music, a bunch of food vendors, and all the businesses were open.
Sam is perusing the menu trying to figure out what she is having. Grandmom lent her some sunglasses because it was so bright!
It was fun sitting out with our Springfield neighbors enjoying the music and having some good food. It was a bit disorganized (although to be fair, these are not actual sit down restaurants, so they were kind of winging it). It took an hour after we ordered to get our food!
Being that we had to wait so long, thankfully, there was some good bread. Not that we all got that much. Sam pretty much had a monopoly on the basket.
I don’t know what kind of ice the ice maker was making, but Sam kept making rings. I love her diamond!
All in all, it was fun. Except the part where an entire glass of soda got knocked into my lap. Yeah, that happened. But I soldiered through, determined to have a great time. The food was excellent and Sam was happy to have had pasta and soft serve from her favorite ice cream place, Vera’s. I think they’re going to try to do it again being that it was so successful – it was mobbed! If they do, we’ll be there! But I might wear a raincoat next time…
