When I lived in FL, there was this wonderful but very casual restaurant near the beach that a friend of mine and I found quite by accident after being at the beach all day. We tried to take a short cut and got lost - but ran into this cute cafe when we were both tired and hungry. The staff didn't seem to care that we were sunburned, under dressed (bathing suits and mesh BIG shirt cover with flip flops) and probably smelled like seaweed.
The entryway of the cafe was a shop that sold such things that you don't normally find such as rock candy and pralines, antique kitchen gadgets and potpourri.
The dining experience seemed very elegant with a presentation of sherbet on a little cone between courses and a dessert crepe bar that was to die for. This cafe was about 75 miles from my house, but it was my all time favorite place to eat and well worth the trip - from ANYWHERE. I wish I could remember the name of it!
What was the last thing that "annoyed you" ?
front seat passengers that want me to "look over there..." I'm always the driver - I won't look!
Do you have a favorite expression you use that pretty much lets folks know you are "annoyed" ?
"Do I have to put you over my knee and set you straight.... again? "
3 of your favorite things to do outside when the weather is really nice.
Watch birds; play fetch with my dog; pick wild flowers

Ok..where's the 1st restaurant? I love trying new places! East side or west side? We've found lots of neat places since we've had the bike.
How far would you drive/travel for a favorite anything?
Oh, I'd say a couple hours. I regularly travel 45 minutes for doctors, Costco and Bath & Body Works (gotta have my cool lotions and soaps - it's my only luxury), but I try to work it into one trip once or twice a month.

In general, people that gripe and complain all the time. I have someone close to me that does that ALOT, and it makes me want to pull my hair out - - - or theirs!
Do you have a favorite expression you use that pretty much lets folks know you are annoyed?
With my kids it would probably be "You better quit while you're ahead"!! They don't always take my advice, but I consider them warned at that point!
List 3 of your favorite things to do outside when the weather is really nice?
Swimming
Have a bonfire in the evening
Go for a quad ride with the family
What song makes you want to get up and dance when you hear it played?
This isn't my normal style of music, but whenever I hear the song "Yeah" by Usher I have a hard time keeping still!
Sense of smell day - - - While we were bringing home a mouse for my kids pet snake yesterday, it got out of it's container! We could not get it, so I hope it doesn't die in my car and test my sense of smell! When I get home I am going to try a cheese trail - - - out of my car and onto the ground! Wish me luck!!
How far would you drive/travel for a favorite anything ? 5 miles. Oh maybe 10 if it was a rare exception of somethine really really good. Hmm maybe 12 miles then.
(this could be food, a Doctor,tax guy etc) I'm not sure visiting the doctor or tax guy would be classified as a favorite thing, more like a must do thing.
