We dropped Toby off at daycare at 8:30. We drove home and got our bikes and headed to the causeway to walk.
We parked at Walgreens to lengthen our walk. We didn’t have to get back for Toby and we planned lunch out.
The high temperature today was 88 degrees, but it was in the upper 70s when we headed out and 85 by the time we finished.
There was a good breeze on the way back.
Toby was very excited to enjoy his playtime.
He walked and walked.
The pictures above are from the early morning. Notice all the energy and movement.
The picture above is from late afternoon. The dogs are exhausted. Many are lying down. Toby is sitting. Others are still walking.
He collapsed in the back of the car as soon as we drove out of the parking lot. Worth every penny.
John and I treated ourselves to Cricketers in the Causeway Plaza, after 2 1/2 years of wanting to eat here. We kept avoiding it because it’s expensive and we thought everything would be fried. We try to avoid fried food whenever possible.
We had planned on splurging and getting fish and chips, a British specialty, but we decided to go with the Wednesday Special: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and peas. It was amazing! Delicious. Great comfort food. We can’t wait to go back and try some other lunch specials.
The meatloaf was served over a slice of bread and topped with gravy. The gravy was spiced with chunks of marinated bacon! My Dad needs to try this on his next trip. The potatoes were real; they even had chunks of potatoes mixed in. John said his mom used to leave chunks in her mashed potatoes so her boys would know they were real and not from a box.
After lunch, we rode our bikes to the outskirts of Clearwater on the Pinellas Trail.
We stopped to take pictures at Stevenson Creek.
The condominiums continue to take shape.
Toby curled up next to me while I put this blog post together.
He’s heading to the shower, soon.
