Ideas needed - Gma Bday

Mrs.BWilliams

My Grandmas birthday is in July and my mom and I are trying to think of something fun to do with her. It will be all of the "girls" in our family, I thought of the Tea Room in Perry, but apparently it's closed? Anyhow, any ideas are welcomed and appreciated!

My grandma just had her first pedicure last week! Has your's?

I'm not sure of little cafe style resturants around here, but those are usually really fun!

We had one of my bridal showers at a tea room down in valley junction, that was almost 4 years ago, so I am not sure if it is still there or not.  otherwise maybe manis/pedis and a lunch somewhere would be fun!

How fun!  I found this link online:

 Hotel Pattee is still open in Perry and while it's a restaurant it is usually fairly quiet, and the hotel is just beautiful.  The food was good last time I was there, however, this has been a couple years. 

I also really like Flarah's in Beaverdale.  They have good food, and excellent cheesecake.  I'm not sure how many people you are planning on as it is on the smallish side.  http://www.flarahs.com/flarahs/welcome_to_flarahs____des_moines,_iowa.html

I know the hotel has changed management several times in recent years so I wouldn't expect the food to be the same. My cousin hosted a conference out there under its current management though and loved it. I'm not sure if it was catered by their restaurant or not though.
