24/11: Vacation Time

Posted by: The Agnew Family
We're heading off on a vacation and for a change using an airplane to get there. Instead of getting up in the middle of the night, hoping for good weather and driving two hours to the airport to arrive three hours before our 10:30 am flight we decided to drive down today and stay at a hotel. We found a hotel that included 2 weeks parking with a reasonable hotel rate --- about $40 more than the regular room rate.
About a block from the hotel is a restaurant called Master Steaks that has been there forever .... at least the early 2000s when Ed and his friend Colin would go to computer shows then stop for a steak lunch on the way home. It's an unique fast food restaurant. You go to the counter and order and if you are ordering a steak you can pick it out at the meat counter. The food is cooked to order so you might have to wait 10 or 15 minutes.
Ed and I had burgers and split a large order of fries. It was a hand made hamburger patty and fresh cut fries --- really good.
After dinner Rob and Ellen (our neighbours --- their going on vacation with us) invited us over to their room for a drink .... Ellen had raided her bar before we left home and found some mini liquor bottles).
Ed found the Crown Royal and decided he could sip it from the bottle.
