my ramblings + burger king giveaway

I figured out that when I don't feel good, and spend days in bed I tend to say yes to a lot of giveaways and reviews. Good for you guys...if you like winning. If you don't like giveaways...you should probably just come back next week. I should have spaced all of this out, but when you are in my current state...you get the attitude of eh, just get it done.  So, apologies in advance.

Before Paul and I had kids we considered it a real treat to eat out, I actually tried to cook back then. When we would go somewhere we were all about going as cheap as possible...sharing a drink and fries, and splurging on the cheapest sandwich on the menu. I can't say that I miss this, but it does make me laugh.

The closest {in walking distance} fast food joint to our little place was Burger King. {We even exercised back then too!} I would beg Paul for a Jr. Whopper, and when I was pregnant with Savannah...I could not get enough of their fries. We definitely ate enough of it to get sick of that place.

We no longer live in walking distance from Burger King, and when I dropped in to use my gift card I was a little shocked. They have gotten a major face lift, and the one we went to was in desperate need of it. Not only do they have electronic menus and the cool Coke freestyle machines, they also have added a bunch of healthier menu items.  Of course I didn't pick one of those when I went...I had to make sure the Jr. Whopper was still good. ;)

I love reviewing a place that doesn't realize that I am there for a review. I think you get a better feel for how things are really run. I am big on customer service...I think that even if the food is average it can make it taste better if you get a good customer service experience. This particular day I was shocked at how attentive and nice the staff was. Savannah had wanted a SpongeBob toy she had seen, and ended up getting a truck of some sort. One of the employees went in the back for her, and found the one she wanted.  It made her whole day. It sometimes is the small things that make me want to take my kids back to a place.

Oh, and I do love that they sell the Coke Icee too, it tends to make a pregnant mama happy.
