Reviewing the Shots

Reviewing the Shots
Photo-A-Day #1570

Nice day visiting with Allison’s parents, her brother and sister-in-law and her Grandparents. We went up to Nottingham, NH for a visit with Uncle Nate and Auntie Sarah and their baby girl. My niece is so cute. I am a very proud Uncle of course. We did see evidence of Eva getting jealous of the baby but she made it through.

The visit was a very nice one and we are looking forward to our trip down to Florida in September (prior to IZEAFest) to visit Dan and Marcia. We also hope to get a chance to go up and visit with Nate and Sarah later this summer and into the Fall (when it is cooler) to spend a little more time with them and our niece.

On the way up to their place we passed the BBQ place that we had wanted to try on the last visit. The sign out front said “Now Open Mondays” We had to laugh. We had wanted to try that place on our last visit but of course it was a Monday and of course it was closed that day. Did us no good today. We did stop at an ice cream and snack bar on the way home and I had Purple Cow ice cream which is Black Raspberry with chocolate chunks and white chocolate chunks as well as raspberry candy pieces. Could have done without the raspberry crunchies, they did not add to the ice cream but I do like the use of White Chocolate and regular Chocolate chips with a fruit base, I want mine in Strawberry Ice Cream though.

A brand new Chipotle just opened and today they were giving away free burritos to everyone who came through the door. Allison, Eva and I went with our friends Michelle and her two little ones Nate and Audrey. I am very, very impressed by the precision hard work the Chipotle team did tonight. The line moved really quickly and people were in great spirits. I thought it would be tedious but it wasn’t. The only thing I don’t like about Chipotle and this is the protective parent in me, is the rivets in the walls stick out. Eva was playing and horsing around with Nate, he’s 4 and she adores him. She does everything he does and managed somehow to slide down the wall right where the rivets were. Luckily it didn’t break the skin but she does have a scratch. That is my only complaint. The food was very tasty.

After dinner we went over to ColdStone Creamery. Before we went in though we saw an Omaha Steak store. I had never been in the store before and I wanted to look around, well $108.00 later we walked out with two large bags of various frozen meats. I can’t wait to grill up some of the Franks on the grill this weekend and the burgers too. Dad, we have dinner for tomorrow night at least!

Coldstone was the usual deliciousness. I got sweet cream and chocolate with white choclate chips and Oreo. Allison got Founder’s Favorite. We sat by the pond and the three of us enjoyed the ice creams.

I am going to have a major annoucement tomorrow regarding IZEAFest, even bigger than the Kickoff Party at Busch Gardens on October 1st. Check out details on the post below!
