Vacation Day 2

Got up late, walked on the beach this morning, collected sea shells. Beautiful day, about 80 and sunny.

We did it! We ate lunch at THE LADY AND SONS, the Paula Deen place. We had to wait about an hour, but it was worth it. Angela had the buffet, and I had pulled pork, dessert was good but small portions. Angela got a new apron with "Put some south in yo mouth" printed on it.

After lunch we walked around the City Market, a collection of shops and eating places trying to walk off some lunch. Angela has fond memories or her childhood of little roadside places where her family bought pecans (PEE-Cons). She has looked and looked and finally asked a shop owner where to buy pecans, he told her "Kroger! There are no little stands selling them anymore". Oh, well, that's progress.

We also visited a little store that sold hand cream, the sign said "Know samples". (for my Alabama friends it should have said "no samples")

Looked for a train museum, with no luck, so we headed back, stopped at a place across from the hotel for dinner.

A good time was had by all!

Heading to Gatlinburg tomorrow, probably will not have internet access, so I will catch y'all up later.
