Tails From Tennessee: CATCHING UP WITH THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP.

I guess I left off on Friday when we went to Salt Life for a late lunch and to Verizon to trade in our old phone for a $500 credit each. We used to LOVE the clam chowder at Salt Life. It was the best we ever had. I guess the chief left and took the recipe with him since it was pretty average, this time with a bunch of veggies. NE clam chowder isn't supposed to have veggies. We sat on the top deck, outside and it almost blew us away. It was incredibly windy. The view wasn't as good as usual since we could only see a sliver of the ocean.

Friday was a lazy day and we spent a lot of it trying to figure out our new phones. Ryan and Najla went to a Kane Brown concert, so we didn't see them on Friday and they had already arranged a sitter for the kids.

On Saturday, we went to Metro diner for breakfast, Like other restaurants they seemed to have reduced the size of their menu. The food was good though. I had a Belgium waffle and David had his usual, eggs, potatoes and bacon.

Tried to get a picture of their specials board, but this guy walked right in front as I took the picture.

We sat outside with the kitties. Nickie just sits in his stroller with the top open and never tries to jump out. He is so happy there and the weather was cool and perfect.

Ryan and Trevor came over for dinner for David's famous chicken fried rice on the Blackstone. Najla and Emma didn't come because Emma now had what Trevor had with a fever of 103. We really missed them, but we sent lots of leftovers for them. We also noticed a beautiful red cardinal that kept hanging around our motorhome. It had actually been there for several days. He wasn't eating anything, just hanging around. It was probably a deceased relative just getting in on the fun.

On Sunday, it was a lazy day with the kitties. Nothing exciting, just more time figuring out our new phones. A very relaxing day.

On Monday we went to the Oasis restaurant for breakfast and then to Bealls for shopping. I love that store and it is only in Floriday. I always find something at good prices. I order from them all the time at home, but it was nice to be able to shop in the store. I bought some new pants and tops and we also found a great camping chair. It's a foldable rocker that you can use on the ground, beach or porch. It's the red chair in the picture, but Bentley thought I was taking his picture. lol

Monday night, Ryan and Najla invited us over for dinner at their house. The food was good and the company better. Both Emma and Trevor were feeling better and we had a great visit. We were leaving on Tuesday to go home. We would have loved to stay another week. And I wish I had taken lots more pictures.

Tuesday, we headed home with a stopover in Forsyth, Ga for one night. All 3 kitties had their favorite places to sleep.
