Last December we had lunch at Elsie's Diner in Owen Sound and said wouldn't it be great to drive the sports cars and have breakfast. So this morning we did.
Last night we put the roof up on the Miata as it was parked outside at the cottage. This morning I dried off the roof but as we needed to buy gas we decided to let the roof dry a bit more and put it down at the gas station which is just a couple of kilometers from the cottage. There was another Miata at the pump when we arrive and the woman told us to put the roof down on the Miata or she would report us to the "Miata Club" and they would take the car from us. We had a good chuckle and told her the roof was coming down. Guess she really believes that convertibles should be driven with the roof down --- Ed definitely agrees with that philosophy.
Elsie's Diner. Love the decor, love the food.
Last December I had commented that the Elvis' Breakfast Sandwich sounded good. This morning Rob asked why I was reading the menu as I was having the Elvis' Breakfast Sandwhich.
From the menu - "Elvis’ Breakfast Sandwich Grilled Peanut butter, honey, thinly sliced banana and bacon, served with home fried potatoes and onions. Elvis’ favorite sandwich: sweet and salty! 5.99". Very tasty.
On the way back to the cottage we saw a house with a lot of old signs out front, so we stopped. Rob found a old cooler that he decided he couldn't live without. Between the four of us we scraped together enough cash to buy it --- we are the credit card generation after all.
The next question was how to get it back to the cottage. Luckily, Ellen didn't mind holding it.
Rob has wanted to ride the bike trail from Southampton to Port Elgin for a long time --- at least that's what he claims. So today we did. We took the "beach" trail to ride from Southampton to Port Elgin and the rail trail back. As it was a beautiful day, the beach in Port Elgin was busy.
Ed's GPS said we road 22.5 kilometers --- not bad for these bike riders.
