ladyofavalon77 | The Long Road Home! (Reply)

Well, we all got up early so we could depart on time for our long drive home. Fortunately, I wasn't called on to drive...that responsibility rested completely on the capable shoulders of my Mom and Dad. No guilt whatsoever! *giggles* I was tired but glad to leave. The computer and all its wonders at home awaited me...the sooner we got back the better. Before we completely left town, I begged Dad to stop at a gas station for some cranberry juice. It was going to be a long drive and I needed a liquid that quenched the thirst...water just wasn't cutting it. Then it was time to sleep the rest of the way to St Augustine.

Now if you've never been to St Augustine, you're missing out. The place is like a little slice of Europe with a whole street devoted to small boutiques, cute little cafes, and cozy bed and breakfasts. No cars drive down there and it's surrounded by old European churches and structures. Lots of history, full of romance. We shopped for purses that were name brand but half off...prices so low it would make you look twice. I bought two and a wallet to match, also indulged in my stuffed animal addiction by purchasing a TY otter holding a piece of seaweed and red breasted robin. Before leaving, we had some lunch at the car. I ordered a oven roasted pork sandwich with apple chutney at The Bunnery after storing my two rice crispie treats covered in both white and milk chocolate in the back. Oh! I also had some gelato ice cream called straciatella that reminded me of my days in Germany. I love how delicate European desserts are...not too sweet but just right :)

Then it was back to the lonely highway and more sleeping. We ate dinner at McDonald's and after that my brother decided to watch Ocean's Eleven on my portable DVD player. The problem was...the sound was too low and we had to rely on subtitles because ear phones would have cut it off for the other. I hate watching movies with low sound. Still as good as the first time I saw it. George Clooney and Brad Pitt just go together like peanut butter and jelly. After seeing this, you know what else I thought? Julia Roberts would be great for Kiefer Sutherland...if she hadn't dumped him on his wedding day and now is married to someone else. I could see why he fell in love with her. Too bad it didn't work out. Now I need to see Flatliners!

So it's Saturday and time to show some graphics. Well, to get in the mood for 24's new season, I requested a signature by The24UmKing at the 24 Community concerning Karen and Bill and he was nice to give me this in return!
