I am home. I stumbled off the ferry at 9:10 p.m. last night and Amoeba took my suitcase and led me to our car, then he took me to Herb’s Tavern for a delicious meal of fried shrimp and french fries. He had a blue cheese burger.
Afterward we visited while he drank a beer and I had some yummy blueberry tea. I was way too exhausted for alcohol. I would have gone to sleep right there at the table.
Once we were home, Amoeba unloaded the car. I checked my mail, took a shower, and put my exhausted self right to bed! I slept for 8.5 hours. I think I would have slept longer, but my bladder needed attention. In fact, I m impressed that it allowed me to sleep so long considering that I drank about 32 ounces of water and an iced tea before going to bed!
I had a great time with my family and friends. I did much laughing, giggling and running around. Now I am home and ready to rest. I sent Amoeba away in the car today. I told him I didn’t want it or need it and there was no place I wanted to go but back to bed! However, sometime today I will be around to visit all of you.
Isn’t it interesting how our little vacations can be so much more exhausting?
Amoeba’s blue cheese burger sounds delish, and I am a fan of shrimp too.
Herb’s Tavern you say? (making a note)
Good idea on taking it easy, after that much driving you need a break today!
Logo — there are quite a few great places to eat here in Friday Harbor. We enjoy The Hungry Clam. Their Eggs Benedict is heavenly. Amoeba also likes their Scallop Basket. I am a fan of their Clam Chowder and their Fish Basket.
There is a Chili Burger at The Bait Shop which is divine — and enough food for two people. Even two very hungry people. And I think the Bait Shop has the very best fries.
I have eaten at Herb’s Tavern twice. Both times I have gotten wonderful, crisp deep fried seafood that was flavorful and not in the least greasy! The fish fillets were huge and flaky. The shrimp I had last night were superb — and I’m not just saying that because I was starving.
Rest up kiddo! Don’t want you getting run down and SICK again!
Sounds like your trip was just very… satisfying!
Melli — I am not feeling ill. That pleases me no end since my sister, Caryl, has a chest cold and I did spend quite a bit of time with her.
Glad you are home. Get some good rest. Glad you had a great time. Isn’t Herb’s Tavern where we ate? Glad you got home safely
xoxoxox
Thom, yes, we did eat at Herbs. The food and service was good, wasn’t it?
Glad you’re home safe and sound! Rest up!
Barbara — I just bagged my Avon orders and put in a load of laundry, but mostly I am resting. Amoeba left the house nice and clean.
i have to work!
Nancy — I am sorry to hear that. I wish money grew on trees. We could spend a day picking some, then just kick back for awhile.
I like fish and chips with malt vinegar.
Karen — malt vinegar is a standard table condiment here. It sits right by the salt, pepper and ketchup.
Mmmmm. I like blue cheese burger.
Doug –the best Blue Cheese Burger I have ever eaten is made at The Shack in Hawaii Kai on Oahu. Baring that, I can make a pretty darn good one myself. Come on over and I’ll grill you a burger and prove it.
You sound tired. But good tired. Rest up and get some sleep! Good to hear you´re home!
Betty — it is the good kind of tired. I had a lovely time with my family.
no surprise that you’re tired. have a good rest but just as a reminder – tomorrow is thursday
Polona — tomorrow is Thursday, and the good news is, I am home where I left the thumb drive with my story in it!
So glad you made it home safe.
Thanks, SN. So am I.
Yay! Your home! Hope you are getting caught up on your rest and blogging too!
Church Lady — I am working at it.
Sounds like you need a vacation from your vacation!
Glad it was such fun.
Linda — It was a blast, but now I am exhausted! Must recuperate.
Glad you are home safe with The Amoeba. Glad you had a good time visiting your family. Sorry my Needed Rain wish invaded your Drive back to the Pacific. I sent you a cute email, hope you got it.
Bill — I did get it and it was cute. I suspect I will see it on Thom’s blog again soon.
Your trip sounded wonderful, but there’s nothing like coming home and getting a good rest.
Welcome back!
Grin, glad you had a good time. And glad you have time and are able to rest
That’s nice to be tired because you had a lot of fun !
