A Busy Day Today

We had a busy day today. After showering this morning, we decided to go out for breakfast. I had looked on Urban Spoon and found another hole-in-the-wall place that had great ratings. We were going to Costco today, so planned on being out and about even though the Heavenly Biscuit was a long ways away in Fort Myer Beach.

As we headed out of Sun Seeker RV Park, we saw this critter resting on a rock near the drainage ditch outside the park fence --


We've not ever seen a turtle so stretched out. I think he was trying to get every bit of warmth he could underneath that muddy coat of algae he was sporting. I wonder what kind of turtle it is?


The little bit of sun we had this morning rapidly disappeared as we headed north. It didn't just rain, it poured! Large fat raindrops that pinged off of Toad's windshield.


When we finally go to Heavenly Biscuit, it was closed! When I went to the door, the lady said that their power had gone out with the thunderstorm, shutting down the grills, so she had sent the staff home...


I think she really felt bad about it. She gave us two of the cinnamon rolls the internet said they were famous for and refused to take any payment for them. (We warmed them in the microwave tonight after dinner and they were delicious!)

Then try to find some place else to eat, hopefully with some atmosphere. But, no such luck. We ended up eating at a Red Robin near Costco (probably should have just gone over to Costco for a hot dog...). Forry had a guacamole bacon burger while I settle for some pretty mediocre mac and cheese.

We made our Costco run, then stopped at a Publix grocery for OJ and milk. We got home to a rather wet RV park just in time for another pretty hard rain shower. The Weather channel is forecasting showers and thunderstorms over the next several days, so I guess we'd better get used to it.
