Voula's Offshore Cafe - Seattle

Looking for a place to eat breakfast in Seattle?

Some how or another our family stumbled upon Voula's Offshore Cafe in downtown Seattle, Washington in the University district. It's a delicious little cafe that was featured on Food Networks' Dinners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I thought because the restaurant had been features on the Food Network they would have huge line, but at 11 AM on a Saturday we were immediately seated.
They did not have a kids menu, but you can get just pancakes. They'll even make your kiddo a Mickey Mouse pancake. The Mickey Mouse pancake was huge and cheaper than the stack of two regular pancakes. I think the pancakes were around $6, but the Mickey Mouse pancake was $3.50.
I got the Pinata Eggs Benedict, one of their signature dishes, and recommended by Guy Fieri. It's a heavy meal and next time I would split it, but it was good!

Miracle Ranch Camp

My oldest son was lucky enough to go to camp at Miracle Ranch in Washington state to participate in Operation Extreme. If you are military and you live in the Pacific Northwest I highly recommend you check into it! It's the nicest camp I've seen. Much nicer than the places I always went! They offer lots of camps besides the military week.

Everything was a western theme, which fit perfectly with the horseback riding they offer. Other things they offered was swimming in the lake, water trampoline, volleyball, paintball, archery, and a ropes course.

Great Wolf Lodge in WA

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge a few times about a year ago. Our kids loved it and we did too. At the time we were living right outside of Portland, OR so we visited the one up in Washington, Grand Mound. It had been a very cold winter and it was very refreshing to step into their water park that they keep extremely warm. I think they keep it at 78 degrees.

The rooms were awesome. There was a refrigerator and microwave. The kids had a bunk area with their own tv. This may not sound like much but what a difference it makes to have that little separate area!

There were also wall hangings, treasure boxes, and other strange things that would "go off" when you waved a magic wand at them. My kids loved this feature! You can get a wand in their magic shop.

The actual water park had tons to do. A kiddie area, wave pool, body slides, tube slides, hot tub and a swimming area with basketball and lily pads to cross.

I would definitely recommend this. It is expensive so be sure to sign up for their mailing list to get good deals. We were able to get a deal that they mailed to us for $175 a night and another time we used the military discount and got the room for $170 a night. Both times we were able to get this rate on a bunk room. It is expensive to eat at the actually hotel. Go into town to eat!

Since we have been there they have opened another family tube ride and a putt putt course.
