Well, we've come to the part of this adventure that we have been dreading: Saying Goodbye.
We went over to AL and UB's house this morning to do some laundry. Bill and Linda have been so generous in letting us use their washer and drier since the rv site we've been assigned in the St. Paul East RV Park does not have a sewer connection. While the laundry was going, Bill and I drove into Stillwater to find a tire pressure gauge that would read the 130 psi that Nessie's tires require. We found it, and made another stop as instructed by SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) at Target to get some SoBe drinks. Back to AL and UB's house until about 6, when we went into Stillwater again for dinner.
Cara and Bruce, AL and UB's daughter and SIL joined us for dinner at Smalleys Caribbean Barbeque. This restaurant was featured on an episode of Diners, Driveins, and Dives on the Food Network Channel, so we figured "What have we got to lose?" and off we went.
We started with a few appetizers:
The chips were a combo of Plaintain and Corn, and the Salsa was very spicy.
Roasted JalapeƱos sprinkled with sea salt appeared on the table and were dispatched pretty quickly. Linda surprised us all by munching her pepper right down!
Dinner was good, with Jerk Pork Tacos, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Barbecued Ribs, Brisket and Habenero Sandwiches, and Pulled Pork Combo Plates with Tater Tots ordered all around. We spent a bit of time with the fam and then returned to the rv to prep for leaving tomorrow.
The evening has been very warm and humid. When Pris and I went on our evening walk about 10pm local time, there was a huge lightening display to the north and east. The television has been warning of possible tornadoes for the last hour, but most of the activity seems to be in Wisconsin. If we don't post tomorrow, you'll know why!
