AAAH we're on the road again! There's something about getting back on the road again that breathes a sigh of new adventures ahead, more coffee, new food and opportunities! We've been in Nashville/Thompson Station for 3 days and the kids have reconnected with their cousins and I've reconnected with my sister. Things are really nice here but it's time to get going. The weather is hot, muggy and we haven't seen a drop of rain since we left! We should recoin our slogan as the Bisbee Blue sky express!
On the way back from the science museum we enjoyed our first towing experience. Seems that when we reach 1/4 tank we can't stop on an incline of more than 10% or the fuel pump doesn't get fuel! We were on the way to the gas station when we stopped on this incline...2 hours later we were being towed to a fuel station. Lesson learned with 22 gallons of fuel left in the tank!
We're on our way to Virginia, Blue Ridge Parkway, Washington D.C. .....and Maryland Blue Crab!!!!
Food Post Script:
Mellow Mushroom - **** Casual Hippie Pizza joint with nothing but the best organic breads, hummus, pretzels, pizza, calzones, good service, good prices, laid back and honestly fantastic food.
Bonefish Grill: **** I promised to not frequent any chains.....really didn't know this was a chain though. Great ambience, phenomenal seafood. Tuna Sashimi, Lump Crab cakes, perfect scallops, could have used a bit more rum and mint in the mojito (go Russ!). Service was very good although you could feel the "chain" rigor and discipline ruled.
Herbs gathered today - New basil plant and enough mint for a dozen or more Mojito's! A few more months and we'd have cherries, pears, apples, and peaches!

We really enjoyed your visit to Thompson's Station! I'm kind of down now that you guys are down but that's to be expected in life's reconnect-disembark regime between siblings. The Asian culture is onto something...everyone grows up and grows old together in the same house. What do you think? Okay, maybe not. Anyway, I know I'd gain a great cook and a great friend if you ever want to try out that formula of family living! The boys are awesome and I can't stop celebrating Debbie's amazing healing & recovery. She's a precious gem, Rob. I love you all! ~ Toni
