It’s always fun to get away and go on vacation, but it always seems just as nice to be back home.We
just returned from a little day-and-a-half trip to Erie, with our friends, Darrin and Krista. To call them our “food friends” I think would not fully describe our relationship, but I will say that we never eat a bad meal when we’re with them.In
our short trip, it seems like we travelled the world in terms of food. There were the down home burgers of Any Town USA at Max and Emma’s, the exceptional steak with a Texas feel at The Longhorn, the Italian gelato (I hope that’s how you spell it), and an American staple – all you can eat Buffalo wings in more flavors than I could hope to sample.We
didn’t just eat on this trip, although you might think we did : ). We also visited a local zoo in Erie. Seeing apes and orangutangs up close is truly amazing. I don’t buy for a second that we evolved from them, but they do have a very human persona to them. I think I could have sat there all day watching them and trying to guess what they were thinking.We
We also watched not 1 but 2 movies for a grand total of $3.50. You would be hard pressed to rent one movie for that much.
The lake was cold and kind of dreary, but that was also a nice touch to the trip.
And what vacation would be complete without some shopping? I have since been informed that I, “shop like a girl,” when it comes to shoe shopping. I make no excuses for my shoe shopping style, thank you very much : ) I’m particular about what I wear, and I guess I always will be.
All in all it was a great trip, but it’s always nice to be back home.
