Where Can I Eat?

Previously I had listed some Vegetarian type options for foods.
Here is an  "all encompassing" list of places to eat that are close to the Island!

Princeton Plaza Mall (where we are!)

Cup N Saucer Family Restaurant
Senor Taco Taqueria
Starbucks
McDonalds
Taco Bell (across the street, Blossom Hill side)
KFC (across the street, Kooser side)

Almaden Plaza (just down the road on Blossom Hill)
Chevy's
Fresh Choice
Five Guys (burgers)
Happi House
House of Bagels
Red Lobster
YoPop
Real Produce
Starbucks
Subway
Tandoori Bistro
Trader Joe's
Wing Stop
Costco
Baskin-Robbins

Blossom Hill, just past the Expressway:
Chili's
Black Angus
Fish Market
Denny's

Oakridge Mall Area
BJ's Restaurant and Brew House
Bucca di Beppo
California Pizza Kitchen
Cheesecake Factory
PF Changs
and they have a food court.  I don't go there much, so I don't know what all they have.

across the street from the mall:

Olive Garden
In & Out Burger
Boston Market
LeBoulanger
Johnny Rockets


A few notes...

Here's the list of campers:

Diane E
Julie R
Kathy J
Jeri A
Fay W
Lucy G
Mariana H

Jennifer R
Chrissie R
Anna R

We are in the final countdown towards camp! 

 The biggest mystery to me is how I am going to fit everything into the trunk of my car!  Maybe I will have to borrow the box van from work, or Mark's truck?

We also wanted to let you know that we will have some electric tea kettles available in case you want to bring along any beverages (tea, coffee, hot cocoa) for when you are at camp. We will have hot cups available.  Water is also provided.   We will have a cooler w/bottled water and ice.

If you are planning on packing a lunch or dinner - be advised that we do not have a kitchen or refrigerator in our scrap room.  So you would have to pack a cooler and there is  no way to heat up anything other than water.  Another post will be made shortly to let you know some of the restaurants in the general area.  Please note there is a post regarding some vegetarian type options here.http://scrampcamp.blogspot.com/2012/08/food-options-at-camp.html

OWH

 I am currently participationg in  the Big Idea Festival over at Big Picture Classes.  Day 1 the challenge was to send out happy mail.  I found this note in the message board and thought I would share it with you all since our big "project" at camp - complete with a prize - is making cards for Operation Write Home.


Stacy and everyone else. I am currently in Afghanistan, and there is a lovely program called Operation Write Home . They send donated Cards to Soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Kuiwat. If you feel like donating to them and passing on your happy mail to a Solider I know myself and others appreciate it. I get a box for my hallway and they are gone in about 12 hours.

I love hearing from someone who actually receives the cards!
