Marty's Multi-Modal Day

good to the last drop

waffle w/ chocolate syrup

Sunday, October 30th.  We started the day in a very special way.  Marty prepared breakfast of waffles and dope.  For those not familiar, dope is not an illegal substance.  It is a wonderful chocolate syrup, home made, that has come down to us through the Brastrom family.  Our mom made it for us all while we were growing up.  Marty has the recipe and it is the best thing to ever go on a waffle.  Sooo good!!!

Buster wanted to go too

We then went to Costco to replenish the liquor supply for the motor home.  We then went to the airport to see Marty's airplane.  It just had a new interior done and it looked very nice.  The engine was out of the plane as it was being rebuilt.  But it's a beautiful plane and I'm looking forward to a ride when we come back to Tallahassee.  We went back to Marty's and prepared to take a 'bike' ride.  Oh yeah, Marty has a beautiful Harley Davidson motorcycle.  We got dressed to go and took off for an exciting fifteen minute ride.  I had never been on a motorcycle before (except for a Honda 90 back in the late 60's).  It was exhilerating!!!  The wind in my face awesome noise the bike made were like nothing I've ever experienced before.  It was very fun!!

We then went to a great seafood restaurant where we started with plate of fresh-caught oysters and then moved on to a great Grouper dinner.  What a wonderful end to a great weekend.  It was great to see Marty and a true pleasure to meet Jan.  She's a true southern belle and taught us it's possible to swear without using swear words.  She's precious (and I mean that in a good way) and a great partner for Marty.
