A Late Start

I woke up this morning as usual. It was early compared to the rest of the family. Spent a few hours playing PC and iPhone games. Read some news. Sat around. Called Momoko at noon. She was not feeling well. They were still in bed in their room. So was Little Kat.

It would take a while for Kit Kat to get ready. Little Kat and I walked to the grocery store across the street. We bought Momoko some seedless grapes and spring water. When we returned, we fed Momoko and picked up Kit Kat. Kit Kat herself was not feeling so great. She wanted a place where she could eat a salad.

Little Kat wanted to eat at a restaurant that we have never been to before. We headed North and found few prospects. Then we went South and found some restaurants of interest. Most of them would not open until 4pm. Little Kat told me we should go to the boardwalk. We parked by the hotel that Kit Kat will return to later this summer with her friends.

We walked a number of blocks and found this strange Italian place. Everyone was happy with the menu. It was mostly an outdoor restaurant. However we went inside as it was cold. There was some commotion with the one other patron in the place. When it was time to pay the bill, I found out why. Their credit card machine was broke. So was all the ATMs around the place. Luckily I always carry a wad of cash in my wallet. I paid the bill and we headed back North to the hotel.

Trip to Wally World

The family has stepped up to help with yard work. So I am taking over some of the shopping work. More precisely, Little Kat and I are responsible for things purchased at Target and Walmart.

You know. We buy the things that are too expensive at the grocery store. This includes toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soft drinks. Momoko recommends that we go to Target. I choose Walmart because it is cheaper.

The local Walmart recently became a Super Walmart. I made Little Kat drive the cart around the store. That was tough because it was a crowded Saturday. With help from the staff, we found everything on my list and then some. The soda was too expensive. Instead we got the knock-off drinks. Instead of Dr. Pepper, we got some Dr. Thunder. The kids swear it tastes as good. We shall see.
