Dinner With Sean...

This afternoon we emptied enough stuff (the lounge chairs and my trike) out of the back of Toad to enable us to put one of the back seats up so that we could take Son Sean out to dinner with us. We wanted to visit the HuHot Mongolian Grill out on East Sprague that our friend had told us about.

But first, we wanted to visit the new Camping World that we had noticed near Liberty Lake when we drove into Spokane from Idaho. You could see it from the freeway, but we could not find a frontage road or a way to get to it. I tried the Yellow Page app on my iPhone, but found nothing. We tried using our GPS, but found nothing there either. The 411 phone number service had no listing.

Finally, I thought to look on the Internet with Safari on my iPhone. The Camping World website used our location and found the nearest store. Viola, we had an address! The location on Cataldo is on a frontage road that takes off from the front of a service station -- it's hard to spot and really doesn't look like the entrance to anything...

Turns out the store has only been open for a week and will actually have their official Open House on the 29th. We were able to restock my supply of laundry detergent for the Splendide washer as well as the stuff for the holding tanks. Forry finally broke down and bought the new Thetford SmartDrain sewer hose system he has been eyeing for some time.

From the Camping World store we drove back to the HuHot Mongolian Grill. We had eaten at one in Altoona, Iowa with our friends and really enjoyed it. Bill discovered that there was a franchise in the Spokane Valley and sent me the address. Unlike the restaurant in Iowa that asked that you use just one bowl for your raw ingredients, this one had no limits. The guy in line in front of us filled FOUR bowls, two with just meat. A while later I saw him go through the line with two more!

Sean really enjoyed eating at HuHot. He went through the line three times!
