The ride to the island

3/4/17. Had an amazing breakfast at the hotel.  On the menu were eggs, omelets, fresh fruit, ham, sausage, oatmeal with toppings of peaches, walnuts, slivered almonds, fresh muffins, coffee cake, bagels,  After that we headed for our destination.  We found a Chic Fill A for lunch.  It was busy, but we got our food within 5 minutes of going in the door.  We had yummy chicken strips and criss cross fries.  Sure was good.  We got back and drove until we needed gas and saw a Dairy Queen and got a Blizzard.  Then we were on the last stretch when they made us get off I-75 because of a fatal accident.  Tried to go around and get on the next exit, but still couldn't.  Had to go way out of our way, but finally got back on.  We stopped at the Cracker Barrel and ate at the Bradenton Exit.  Then we just drove on the road by us to Anna Maria Island.  We were so happy to see the sign.  It was a beautiful drive to our Condo.  We unpacked and got settled in.  Bill and I went to the store right by us and got some groceries.  Watched some tv and went to bed.
