Now, you know I don't really "do" buffets. Oh well, so we were going. My cousin Dennis was graduating so the whole dang family (dad's side) flew/drove into Ohio for the ceremony. Having never been to a place to eat with the name "corral" in it, I knew I needed to get my camera out:
On my plate: corn, biscuit, veggies, and some rando fish with sauce and rice. Oh, yes and chocolate cake, too (this is summer vacation!)
The wonderful Ohio section of the family: Aunt Barbara, Uncle Norman, Dorothy, Aunt Doris, Dennis, and some of his friends.
Aunt Doris and I- how fun!
Grandma and I : ) Is she not adorable? It is from her that I gain the culinary strength to create masterpieces such as sweet potato pie and cornbread dressing.
The verdict: Golden Corral gets 1/2 star, but time with family gets 5+
lol. The Golden Corral was my FAVORITE restaurant in 4th grade! Well, I'm glad that you had time with family to make up for the less than stellar food!
*and while you're in UT keep your eyes out for Chuck-O-Rama. It's another buffet restaurant and anytime my grandma wanted to "take us out for dinner", that's where we'd go. :)
*the new blog banner/colors look great! I'm feeling like I need to do an overhaul on mine -- I'm getting bored with it.

Okay, maybe you don't want to know this, but I always tease my parents when they go to that...um...fine eating establishment. I call it 'The Golden Trough.' :)
How fabulous is your family? And you're right...it doesn't matter where you go...as long as you're with the family.
Have a safe trip!

lol- I was thinking the same thing as Shannon- but she beat me to the punch:} buffets have never been on my good list- but the kids love them. Great family pictures.

Golden Corral is my aunt/uncle's fav place to eat. I am not a big buffet fan, but I know you liked the rolls, right?

Ok so question...did your family think you strange taking a picture of your plate before you ate? Or do they all read your blog and totally understood? LOL
