Another surprise date

So, Z surprised me again with a special date night. He picked me up from my house after work and whisked me away to Macon! Unfortunately, Macon is almost an hour and half drive so after we went to Academy Sports(to get skeet and shotgun shells for our skeet shooting events tomorrow at our cookout. More about that later) we only got to visit the mall for about an hour. We did get to peruse a few stores and finally were off to find something we could sink our teeth into.

 

He took me here….

 

 

Where I ate plenty of these…

 

…and can’t forget the main dish… Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

 

It was all YUMMMM

So I may or may not have mentioned last month’s yard sale. If not, I’ll recap. My older sister, my Bubb(brother-in-law), and I cleaned out our parents garage last month and got everything together for a huge yard sale. We decided proceeds would go to buying food for a HUGE cookout. This weekend is our cookout and we are sure to have a blast complete with a skeet shoot(sort of a tradition). We go out in my back yard and shoot whatever we want. The boys like to show off their mad skills and Z placed 2nd in the nation on Georgia’s 4-H Shooting Sports Team of four members! I will be sure to snag some pictures to show off tomorrow!

Have a happy weekend!

Headed home.

Daddy woke up at the crack of dawn this morning ready to go. See, I told you he's not much for the beach! I didn't get up until around 1030AM because when we talked about what time we were leaving he said around lunch time! He and I headed back home early because we have to work this week. Mama and Sami are staying in Daytona until Friday!

We finally made it out, it took some prodding to get me going, around 1140. I talked him into stopping by Starbucks as we were headed out. I introduced him to the Caramel Frappaccino yesterday and he's HOOKED! He loves it!

We took back roads home and saw all the beauty North Florida and South Georgia has to offer. We only took THREE pee breaks! lol.

On our third and final break, we stopped in Enigma, GA which is less than an hour and half from home we pulled into one of TWO convienence stores around and as we pulled in Daddy said there's a cop. I turned around and there were blue lights behind us. I couldn't figure why we would get pulled over. We weren't speeding. Daddy didn't go over 70 the entire ride from Daytona(the speed limit was 65 most of the way). He told me to go in and I did. When I came out the officer was holding my Daddy's drivers license and registration. This can't be good!

I got in the truck and didn't say a word, just listened. The officer was talking to daddy about how he passed us in the road and clocked us going *78* in a 55. WHAT THE HECK? I told you earlier, Daddy didn't exceed 70MPH the WHOLE TIME! He had his cruise on. My Daddy is precious as can be. He is the building inspector for Turner County and has this super awesome badge saying so in his wallet. That thing is LEGIT! He showed the officer his badge and told him that he abides the law and has not had a ticket or even been pulled over in 20 years and that he works with the police, firefighters, and EMTs back home and tries to obey the law. The officer told him he would leave it up to Daddy to decide what the officer should do. SERIOUSLY?? WHO WOULD TELL YOU THEY WANTED TO GET A TICKET???? Long story short, he gave Daddy a verbal warning and told him get his speedometer checked out. So we headed on home from there as Daddy replayed the situation over and over to me! lol

Daytona: Day 3 ((A day late!))

We woke up this morning and went to the beach for about an two hours or so. After having enough sand in our crack for our liking we headed back up to the pool and tried to lay out there. It was WAYYYY too hot so we trucked our way back up to the condo and took a long, needed nap. When we woke up around 4 Daddy had just arrived back at the condo from his pawn shop adventures. Daddy has never been a fan of water. I don't think he has owned a swim suit as long as I have been alive. But he SURE loves Daytona. He can probably tell you where EVERY car dealer, pawn shop, and good eating place is in a 30 mile radius!

We ate Popeyes(HOORAY! NO ITALIAN!) for supper. This was a treat as the one that was close to us closed down a few years back! We love it! After supper he drove us around the Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach, and Daytona Beach Shores just to ride and then we headed back to the condo where we watched fireworks! ((pictures to come later, they are on Mama's computer!))

Hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth!
