Dinner at Creekside Grill

If you live in Oregon, or ever visit Oregon, one of the best places to tour through is Silverton, Oregon.  It's the same location that Silver Creek Falls i located and offers a Monk Monastery, close to the Tulip Festival, and also offers some of the most quaint and downright cool places to eat.  

One of the ones we stopped at recently was the Creekside Grill.  Some restaurants just pick a cool name and go with it, but this restaurant actually sits on top of the Silver Creek therefore gained it's name "Creekside Grill."  

The restaurant is located inside the old Historic Hartman Chevrolet Garage in Silverton, Oregon and offers accommodation for large groups too.  The hallways are made to look like an old western town and this piano was begging to be photographed   

Along side the creek we enjoyed watching Canadian and mallard ducks taking flight from the water from time to time as we ate.  And when Skylar's hamburger came, it was quite a large burger for a little nine-year-old, but he knocked it out.

He was pretty stuffed afterward though.  

If you travel west and find yourself in Silverton, Oregon, give the Creekside Grill a try.  Be sure and ask to sit over the creek though, or it won't be the full experience.  

Eco-Tip:  One of the best ways to go green in your life is to set a budget and not over spend for things you don't really need.  Living within your means is one of the greatest ways to help you live a greener life.  Only buy what you need and hold back on things you don't.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

Passing train in the rain

This train passed by over the trellis above us when we were headed to the park today.  Unfortunately there was a bit of a sprinkling of rain that came down, but the train was still a neat chance to snap some pictures.  And of course I had to make it into a GIF.

Eco-Tip:  When buying plastics look to ones that are BPA-free.  Bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to health issues on wide scale.  Many plastics on the market may contain BPA, so look for plastics that state on their packaging that it is "BPA-free".  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
