A couple weeks ago our friend Laura forwarded us an email for a "Groupon" to Zippy's Giant Burgers. I had never heard of a Groupon before receiving that email. It is basically a daily email that is sent out, featuring something cool that you can purchase at a really cheap price. So, for instance, the Zippy's Groupon allowed us to purchase $15 worth of food for $7. Here, in Seattle, the link for Groupon is: http://www.groupon.com/seattle/. I'm now signed up for the daily email and look forward to the next unbeatable deal.
Tonight we used our Groupon for Zippy's Giant Burger. How nice is it that "Seattle's Best Burger", as crowned by the Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, can be found only 3 blocks away from our house? The answer: really nice! We loaded Katie into the Ergo Baby backpack and took off on foot. It looks like a local fast food joint, but it isn't. Expect a wait for these delicious burgers--the shop is very small with only a few indoor seats.
Ben had a Zip Burger with bacon and cheddar cheese, no veggies or sauce, but with mustard added. I had a Zip burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, pickles, and their special sauce. Katie had her very own Little Zip--a small burger with special sauce and pickles. I ordered her burger plain, but she didn't seem to mind the special sauce:) We shared an order of fries, and Ben and I had chocolate milkshakes. We sat outside at a picnic table, and Katie sat on the bench next to Ben like a big girl. I was sure she was going to sit in one of our laps. She reached up for her burger and ate it just like we eat ours. So fun! Ben was kind enough to share some of his milkshake with her. He didn't think she would be able to get enough suction on the straw to get much. Boy was he wrong. She really put a dent into his shake.

Ah, what a super way to end a pleasant Summer Saturday in Seattle:)
