As we were getting ready to sit down and have our breakfast at the hotel the song I'll be Home for Christmas was playing and Amanda thought that was a little funny to have that playing in the hotel but I told her we were home for Christmas it is just that Florida is our home during Christmas. Which of course she reminded me then that she didn't get to go home for Christmas last year.
Amanda thought she was putting an orange slice in her mouth but realized it was grapefruit, the face she made was priceless. I only wish we had the camera ready to get all of her faces she made and her wiping her tongue with her napkin to get it all out of her mouth.
After breakfast we pretty much relaxed in our rooms watching tv, reading & of course playing on our electronic devices.
Finally about 4:00 we headed out to see if Jaxson's Ice-Cream Parlor was open. We had seen it on tv and of course if you know my family at all you know that Roger & Amanda love their ice-cream. We lucked out and they were open and it was a packed house.
I felt sorry for the poor waitress because she kept coming back to take our order but we couldn't make up our minds. So what did we have for our Christmas dinner you might ask.......
a Turtle Sundae and a Chocolate-Peanut Gargantuan that is the way the Hitchcocks do things. Thankfully they have doggy cups to take home what you can't finish AND we have a freezer in our room so tomorrow while Roger is out deep sea fishing Amanda and I can eat ice-cream.
We went back to the hotel and then what did we do but go for a Christmas moonlight swim.
I am thinking of Brad a lot today and hoping that he is making it through the day with as much joy as he can, since he is so far away from his wife Christine on their first Christmas as husband & wife. But hopefully his Christmas gift will be a wonderful new life for them in the Nuclear program of the Navy.
Dave would probably like ice cream for Christmas dinner too. But only after he has his egg casserole. We had brunch and then cookies, candy and snacks the rest of the day. I think Dave ate some leftovers later in the evening, but I'm not sure what it was since I was already asleep on the new comfy couch! Have fun!
