Magnolias at Our Hotel

On Saturday we left about 6:50 am and took the same route back as we had come, but we stayed in Harrington, Delaware, this time.  This magnolia was on the hotel property.

We also had quite a wait after we ordered our food, which turned out to be rather disappointing.

Waiting for Our Table

Apparently Cravings Restaurant has become very popular after it appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  We had to wait about an hour in not so cool weather.

At Dairy Queen

The third generation went out to dinner so we ordered four pizzas for the rest of us.  After that we hit Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat.
