The Hidden Beauty of Renton Washington

Saturday afternoon we sat out on a family shopping trip to prepare for our upcoming adventure to the great state of Texas this weekend.  As mentioned in an earlier post, we are headed there for my brother’s wedding reception.  If you haven’t been to Renton, let’s just say it’s not one of the most majestic cities in the great northwest.  Not to say that there is anything wrong with it; it’s just not where one would expect to find a little slice of unexpected heaven LOL…  
We make the short trek from Issaquah to Renton, and as we are about to exit the interstate, I notice a sign for Ivars.   For those of you who haven’t had Ivars, it’s a must try.  At the time, we had only eaten there once before when September and I took a weekend trip sometime back, but we absolutely loved it. So when I saw the sign for it, I was like a huntin’ dog on the trail – I was determined to find it.  Heck I even broke out the GPS…. Lol
We continue guided by our turn by turn directions and finally arrive at our destination and to our utter surprise, it turns out that this particular Ivars is located right on a beautiful portion of lake Washington… The sun shining, the wind blowing through our hair and a beautiful view while we ate…. It made paying 10 bucks a piece for fish and chips worth every penny…..lol.
