Why did they get a ticket?
Two hour only parking until 5:00. I guess they didn't come back to buy more time in time.

so you could hang out here?This is fun following your trip report, especially during the day on a Friday. (I took off today--yea!!)

Oh, o.k.-- just a parking violation. (I was hoping it wasn't for reckless driving or anything.)

Well, for some of the day, yes! (I've also knocked out the weekly grocery shopping, and a few other errands this morning. The rest of the time, I've been half watching C-SPAN on in the background.)
It's 5:55 and we are already back in our room after a very late lunch, or a mega early dinner. You decide.
This is a new place for us. I think I've heard some of y'all mention this place before. Holy jumping, was it ever all good!
Bread and dipping oil. I didn't have any, but it sure looked and smelled good.
Iced tea x two.
Caesar salad x two.
Chicken parm? Must be Hubby's.
A big hunk of meat (veal this time) with a non starch side? Must be mine.

Dessert? Yes please!
Cheesecake and "Chocolate Dream":
This is the one I ordered.
This is the one I ate. (Well, maybe a quarter of it.)
This was so, so, so good! I could have eaten the whole thing ... and maybe even another serving.
I didn't, but just you know, I could have!

It's really good. Not Olive Garden'ish at all.
We did a heck of a lot of Franklin St. shopping today. Money was spent.
Hubby got three UNC t-shirts, three UNC golf shirts, a hat, a whole bunch of magnets, and a lapel pin.
I actually picked up a few things at Old Navy. We have one the next town over at home, but I've never been. I got two pairs of ankle length slacks, two tops, a cute sundress, and a cardigan.
Hubby is all stocked up on beer (got it at Walmart - definitely not a thing at home) and we are parked for the night.
Tar Heels play at 7:00. Go Blue!
(Me, I'm going to have a nap, then a shower, then pack up for tomorrow. I also have some games to catch up on. My Township has been neglected all day.)

I've been to Carrabba's several times. I really like it too.

We have a Carrabba's about 2 miles from my place. I have been there a number of times. I like it, but, for simplicity I usually tend to just go to Olive Garden which is only 1 mile from me. For a number of years I got gift cards from there, not so much in the last couple of years. Is this the one you went to in Durham?
They are owned by the same group as Outback!

Yep, I'm pretty sure that is the only one in Durham. I could be wrong. Who am I kidding, me wrong?
Headed down to Franklin St. earlier today.
A different kitty on the way back.
(Sorry about the glare, but there is a reason why the kitties favour that front window.)
That's Hubby inside petting it. He said I should have been able to hear the purring from the sidewalk.

That is, to me and my hubby too, the perfect seat. All that space and a decent view.

I thought of you tonight @JenniferS .....we went to the Olive Garden. We hadn't been in almost a year and I enjoyed every bit of it. We both got the tuscano soup, and hubby didn't want to eat all his so I finished it. So I felt like how your husband must feel finishing your food. Then both of us got the Tour of Italy and we each only ate half of it. So leftover tomorrow for us!
I cannot believe how we were permitted to just walk around the Dean Dome at will. There was one guy there briefly who gave me a "hey, how's it going?" while Hubby did his first solo walkabout.
We walked around (together) three times - mid-level seats, concourse, and upper-level seats where I did the stairs level and hubby did the no-stairs level.
My legs and hip are throbbing so maybe doing a couple hundred steps up and down was not my best idea.
