On the road home

Bob with pancake and bacon breakfast
We slept well and long last night. We took our time since and then went downstairs for our complimentary breakfast buffet. I believe the hot breakfast buffet was served in the on site restaurant from 6 or 6:30am to 10am. The cost was about $20pp, but ours was included with 2 cards we had to turn in. We only used one since we ate breakfast yesterday at Three Broomsticks. Anyway, we got there around 7am and left around 8am. The chef did not man the cook-to-order eggs or omelet station until we were leaving. Everyone else in the restaurant had left by then too. There was only one couple left there and they were ordering off the menu, refusing the buffet. Go figure. Anyway, it was a substantial enough breakfast. It included juice and coffee or tea. The Breakfast Pie, which was actually a slice of an egg quesadilla was really good. I had a pancake and bacon and then a bowl of oatmeal. The oatmeal was really heavily dosed with cinnamon. Clay said he could smell it across the table! I must have been stuffed up or I wouldn't have served myself a bowl if I had smelled it. Anyway, we did not leave hungry!

Checkout was quick and efficient since our package was prepaid back in July and we had no extra charges. It was right at 40 degrees F when we loaded the car. Chilly for Florida. But, it snowed at home the day after we got back, so it wasn't so bad at sunny and 40. The traffic was light all the way home.

We stopped for an early dinner at one of the last freeway exits before arriving home. We stopped at White Swan BBQ. We needed to buy 4 pounds to freeze and take to Mom at Christmas time and this saved us an extra trip. We arrived to our home freeway exit just as the sunset was turning a beautiful mottled pink. A beautiful close to a great trip!
