~SONIC~

ok, so I must say before I even begin to compose this post that this may be very insignificant to most, if not all, of you who read my blog! But please understand that it is not my love of fast food (I actually hate most fast food places) that prompted this entry. Ok, so most of you have probably figured out that we must have ate at the new sonic ! Not a big deal to most, but please understand that I spent an entire 9 months (while pregnant with Aodhan or was it Keiran? ) craving sonic's food. I did not sleep through most of my pregnancy, so there was a good deal of late night television being watched and I was bombarded with Sonic commercials. I craved almost everything they advertised, but with the closest sonic being a 6 hour drive from Chicago (can you imagine sending your husband on that journey for a craving) I could not have any of it! I once told Jim that if they opened a sonic near us I would order one of everything on the menu. So a few weeks ago, Sonic opened about 15 min from our house (on Kirk near the outlet mall) Yesterday we stopped on our way home for lunch. Now, I have never been to sonic before and wasn't even sure if it would be good, but my good friend Brandie and a few of my girls from StuCo had assured me that it was well worth stopping. Now, I must tell all of you that I DID NOT order one of everything on the menu ! But I really did enjoy my lunch - it was some of the best fast food I have ever had ! Having never been to sonic before though our stop did prompt a few questions and maybe some of you know the answers; Like how much do you tip your car hopper ? and can you eat your food at your stall? and is it rude to eat your food and then order your dessert (otherwise your ice cream would melt) and make your car hopper make 2 trips to your car? and what about when there is no ketchup or dipping sauce for the kids - do you call them back for that ? Well here is what we did - please tell me if I am wrong so I can get it right next time - We tipped the car hopper 3 dollars (i think i would have tipped more if she was on roller skates but she was not.) I skipped dessert because I could just not figure out the proper thing to do here ( that just means I will have to go back ). And I was a terrible mom and forced the kids to eat with no ketchup or dipping sauce. So we had a great lunch ( and yes we ate at the stall) the kids loved hopping into the back of the van and having a "picnic" and I thought the food was great! I would definately recomend trying it if you have never done so before !
