Bonnie and I made it back up to Illinois after a great Memorial Day celebration with Rod in Orlando. The trip up was pretty uneventful, we even stayed in the same hotel as we did coming down. When we got to Rockford, the folks were looking for company to go out for fish--so I got to have the fish fry at the Butterfly. Yummy!!!
When I got here, I was still in search of someone to go to Virginia with me. of course, everyone is working. My nephew Travis would have been perfect being an official card carrying driver now, but, he had weekend commitments, as did Jodie. Mom had several things she could not get out of...so that left one of the nieces. Both had finished school on May 26th, but, only Skyler didn't have anything booked yet--Ali had volleyball games. SO, at least the next road trip was lined up!!
Gas prices at least are holding pretty level. I even found $2.39 gas at Perry, GA. It was a BP station, but, I figured they need the business if they will ever be able to afford the oil spill cleanup. So, I am buying from them the rest of the summer trips, if the prices are comparable with other stations. And speaking of the cleanup, have you seen this yet? http://www.wimp.com/solutionoil/
Do you guys have Captain D's seafood places around you? I ate at one this time, and, I must say the food was pretty good and at a decent price. I wish I could tell you I opted for no french fries, but, I was bad! I guess I was celebrating Tuesday night's Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel. I just LOVE that show!!!
