It’s Monday. My week of living on margaritas and seafood have sadly come to a close. I’m back home in Illinois again having left the white sandy beaches of Panama City Beach behind. We had a really nice time and look forward to returning in October.
On our way home we came across a Buc-ee’s near the Tennessee/Alabama boarder. I’ve heard about Buc-ee’s from many of you sending in your beaver sightings, but I had never experienced it myself until now. First of all, holy-crap is it big! It probably didn’t help that we pulled in around dinner time, but damn was it ever crowded. Secondly, what didn’t they have? Everybody was moving very fast, so I quickly grabbed a BBQ brisket sandwich, some Buc-ee’s homemade potato chips, a giant drink, and for some reason, a box of mixed-flavored fudge. The brisket was extremely fatty but it tasted pretty good. I liked the chips, those were mighty tasty. Not sure about the fudge. I had one piece that I think was supposed to be blueberry and I wasn’t impressed. Oh well, probably should’ve got the beaver, eh?
Anyway, now is the hard part—getting back to the grind. I have a bad feeling that it’s going to be harder than usual. I don’t know why, it’s just a feeling. At least the weather is supposed to be nice today. That was a surprise.
Home Again
