steak n shake

still talking about my recent vacation... most shops were open till 9 p.m. from monday to saturday (on sundays, they're only open until 6 p.m.). one night, after a 7 p.m. dinner (i still noticed that there's light out at 7), we went to best buy and bought a few stuff (just a few, other things i needed i got off cheaper at amazon). we stopped at a 24-hour steak 'n shake before heading back. they ordered their 'originals' - medium well, no pickle, with pickle, lettuce, tomato, and so on - and strawberry milk shakes. i had a bowl of their 'genuine chili'. we took home most of the chili. umay. nice lady server put extra crackers. i should have ordered a cup because i only wanted to try it. the leftover? we made chili cheese dogs later that week. still umay.

marco island: red roof inn, ihop

We went camping at Marco Island, Easter weekend. Most of our group slept at the campgrounds while a few of us - literally unable to sleep on anything below knee-level - slept at a hotel, at Red Roof Inn. I'm glad we did that because during the two nights we were there, temps dropped to 50°F ( 10°C)... brrr! We had breakfast at the IHOP next door. My eggs benedict-- Biscuits and gravy (with eggs and hash browns on the side) -- The "Senior Rise ‘N Shine"-- I love breakfast.

missing good weather

we recently had a short but fun vacation. the weather in southeast florida was nice while we were there. i could sun-bathe any time and not break a sweat. i only did that three times though and yes, i quickly got a tan line and suffered a little sunburn. it was even cold out on several occasions, like when we went to this park in the middle of the afternoon. cold winds with warm sunshine felt good on the skin.
