Car Issues on Way to Beach

Next week school starts up. So the family took a small beach vacation to celebrate the end of summer. The morning that we left, I went out and collected the yard clippings and set them out for the next day. We had planned to drive an hour or so and get some lunch. But Momoko was too hungry. Kit Kat drove us to the local McDonald's for some dollar menu grub.

On the highway I immediately noticed some problems with Kit Kat's car. It did not take the bounces well at all. Maybe some shocks problem. The power window at my seat was broken. Later we found that the air conditioner only lasts for an hour or so and then stops cooling. Also, Kit Kat's phone she used for navigation overheated and turned off.

The real bummer was that the Sonic we planned to visit for lunch had permanently closed down. We needed to take a 20 minute detour to find another Sonic. The hotel we stayed at was new for us. The kids were on the third floor with their own room facing the bay. Their front door was tough to open.

Momoko and I stayed at a beach front room. But there were two lamp posts with huge light balls outside our balcony preventing night views of the ocean. Plus there were assorted palm trees obstructing our view. The ocean was far away as well due to a deep beach.

We went to our favorite restaurant for dinner. They did not have the Italian sub I was hoping for. They were very busy but we got seated immediately, albeit at a booth instead of a table. Momoko told everyone to order only what they could eat. She ended up not eating her tossed salad. Fail. I told the family I detected our waitress was from Uzbekistan.
