Dealing with the Headaches

Oh, the travel headaches just don’t seem to end!

When Mal and I returned to our hotel room after dinner last night, we discovered some nastiness in our bathroom sink, which probably came up from the drain pipes. Gross! (Yucky photo below). So, we called the front desk to complain and we were told someone would come to our room to check it out and clean it up. More than a hour passed and still no one visited our room, so we called again to complain. Around midnight, we were finally moved to a new room.

Then, after getting to bed pretty late last night, we woke up, bright and early, to the sounds of construction right outside our window.

Grrrrr!

This morning, I also discovered that the wireless internet in our new room doesn’t work. For an already disgruntled blogger, this was especially annoying.

So, now I’m blogging in the hotel lobby. Oh, the fun never ends with this trip!

My day started to turn around when Mal and I stopped by The Human Bean for a couple of iced soy lattes (with chocolate-covered espresso beans). Totally delicious.

After just a couple of sips of iced latte, I was happy.

I was even happier after eating one of Grandma’s cookies!

When we arrived at Grandma’s house this morning, my father-in-law was already cooking-up a hearty breakfast for us.

We had scrambled eggs.

Hash browns.

Toast and whole wheat English muffins.

It was quite a breakfast feast!

I started with small servings of everything.

And then went back for a second half of English muffin and more eggs.

Check out this old school spoon from the US Navy. Mal’s grandpa swiped it from the mess hall back in WW II.

I finished off breakfast with a couple of Grandma’s sugar cookies. I told ya I’d give some of her other flavors a try today!

Mal and I are off to explore Ashland this afternoon. We’ve heard great things about it.

See ya!
