My Mini Vacation

My friend Su and I just finished a four day, two night mini vacation. So what did we do?

Thursday we went to Desoto Bend, a National animal and bird refuge. We did not see many migratory birds as we had wished but we had fun driving through the refuge.



We then drove to Blair, NE and went to three thrift shops, and ate at a Mexican buffet for lunch. Here is Su at the Mexican restaurant.

 After a short drive we arrived in Fremont,NE and got our hotel room. We relaxed a bit then went out to eat. We had decided to eat in restaurants that were not our usual choices. That night we ate at Penny's Diner:



Friday Su and I went to three thrift shops and out to lunch at Arby's. In the afternoon we went to a movie matinee and then out to eat supper at a USA Steak Buffet.



Saturday we drove back to Omaha and went to two more thrift shops on the way to Godfather's Pizza for lunch.

I drove Su to her home after lunch. This morning we met at parking lot where Su left her car and I drove us to Bridge Church so we could visit a new church. Our church partners sometimes with Bridge Church to minister to an inner city area so we wanted to visit Bridge Church. We listened to a good message. After the service Su and I went out to eat lunch, thus declaring that our mini vacation was over.

I have to admit, I did not use portion control during our mini vacation. This photo (From Funny Potato website) is NOT of Su and me. I'm just showing it to illustrate being off track! I ate just too much during my vacation!



Although I did some walking, I did not do enough walking and I did not exercise. I know that I must get back to exercising!

Today's Positives:
1. I had a great four day vacation!
2. An envelope with three checks that I sent to my bank, and that did not get registered as a deposit was returned to me. I had put it in the wrong envelope. I can now resend these checks to my bank in the CORRECT envelope ...so the almost $300 can be credited to my account!! I'm am so glad that I got the envelope back!
3. Longtime friends were in town this afternoon and I got to see them at a reception given in their honor.
4. I will be back on track with healthy eating and exercising TOMORROW!

Have a nice week!
