I love CB!~~!!! Geez your mom hasn't aged a day from the pictures you posted of her from you PTR! Haha! She looks the same! I never get dinner or lunch there. I only get breakfast. I think it's something about having breakfast anytime of the day there is what attracts me to eating there!
So glad you love cracker barrel
Since we don't have one near us the only time we eat at once is on the road
though i doubt we will stop at one this upcoming trip--DH ate breakfast at one near Durham nc and felt bad the rest of our trip--so he can sympathize with your dad
but i do love the rocking chairs on the porch
by the way what state are we in now--NC or SC
The CB pics are hilarious. I love CB because it reminds me of food from home but my husband only tolerates it. Breakfast there is yummy!!
If you like the dumplings from CB you should try some real southern homemade chicken and dumplings!! Yum! Yum!
Looks like a fun time! I have never eaten at Cracker Barrel. But those steak fries reminded me of Five Guys because those are the kind they serve.
Okay you have made me a Cracker Barrel believer! I always try and count how many billboards I see for them on the way down, and I always lose count by Kentucky
We always say we will stop there for a bite, but never do, however, that old fashioned cooking looks very delicious, I just told DH we must stop there on our way down to Florida next week. The best part about all this is, we live about 10 minutes from a Cracker Barrel and have never once step foot into it.
Hi, Rachel! I'm joining in now, but I have to go back and read/catch up
Just read your last post: We LOVEE Cracker Barrell! The closest one is about 45 minutes away from us, so we've only been a few times. I love the corn bread!!
Glad you're feeling better! Gotta love weekends. I've only ever had breakfast at Cracker Barrel... but there's one close by and your pictures look so yummy... maybe I'll have to convince DH to go there for dinner
I don't know how, but I've never eaten at a CB. I live in SC and my folks are in Fla., so I'm surrounded by them but yet I've never been. It's definitely been on my list because I've always wanted one of those little golf tee games. However, now that I know they have dumplings, it's a must-do.
I think the craziest thing is that I "knew" Deb from the movie Corrina, Corrina with Ray Liotta and Whoopi Goldberg. It slightly bothered me to see her as Deb; I couldn't accept it! But then she was also on Veronica Mars, so then I got used to seeing her elsewhere!
Saturday, April 3: The Much Awaited and Anticipated CB Meal!
This was my thirst-quenching beverage. Thats the point of a glass of water. Of course, I dont drink much, so it wasnt really quenching my thirst because I didnt have any thirst. The straw had the little paper on the tip because Weird did it for me! I like it when the straws have that there or they give the straws with the wrapper still on. I mean, have you ever put a straw in your mouth that tasted salty because someone touched it? I have! It was so gross!
This picture is to show the difference between how much Weird drinks and how much I drink. This is only a minute or so after we got our water. My boyfriend is strange. I dont know why he has this thing for staying hydrated.
I love the way you break up your installments!! I love super-long TR's! I live in Westchester Co, NY, and absolutely cannot imagine driving! You guys make it into a fun road trip though-- I want to road trip to New Orleans this summer with DBF, but he is NOT a fan of long car rides!!
Even though during this trip I will not be driving to the world I think I'll take pictures of the Airports we stop in. Your inspiring me to do that Rachel!
I'd never stay in a Ramada! Yuck! It's always gross! I don't like to stay in anything belove a Holiday Inn. It's gotta be 3 star and above.
I think the Ramada Inn near DL is suppose to be good but I still opted to stay at a bigger place that is even closer.
I think next year we are heading in your general direction. We are going to go to Niagara Falls when DH gets back from school for the AF. It should be cool! Never been in the State of NY so I hope it's not too bad! Haha
Same here! I loved Corrina Corrina. I associate her with that movie first and then Andre, the seal movie.
Eww! That's so gross! That hasn't happened to me yet, probably because the places I go to never give straws with water, the cups are not large enough for them I guess.
I am the same way as Weird As soon as I get water I always gulp it down. I don't know why I feel the need to quench my thirst so quick when I'm at restaurants, I think the icy cold water entices me, I just love it My boyfriend doesn't even touch his until towards the end of his meal.
That possum is cute...they puppies are a breed that looks like a sharp pei--
they have the squished faces
I am glad you had a great hotel/room
and yea for upcoming day two
Your trip is really GREAT--love the installments
keep it comming
Don't you just love the feeling of a real bed after a long day of driving? Not to mention a shower.
We love Country Inn & Suites. We stayed at one in Valdosta, GA last year and it was very clean, had a great pool, and you are right, the breakfast is very good (even though you cannot tell us about it yet ).
Cannot wait for day two, and I too, love how long your TR is going to be!!
I've never been to a Cracker Barrel. You made me want to try it, though! I like when they just give you the straw and you can unwrap it yourself.
The hotel looked nice. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
