One of the truck stops we tried last night that was full had a Denny's restaurant and I had suggested going out for breakfast in the morning. That is something we had not done yet this vacation and Ben was all for it. So despite not finding a place at that truck stop, we stuck with the plan of eating breakfast out. Unfortunately, it wound up being over 60 miles along I-80 before we found a restaurant and we had not gotten an early start to begin with, so it was almost lunch time when we finally ate at the Apple Barrel Restaurant.The food hit the spot, though, eggs and bacon and pancakes with strawberries, some of them had omelets or scrambles with ham or sausage in them ... quite a spread, good enough to count for breakfast and lunch!
After that we just drove for hours through boring Nebraska. We decided that for the last night we might as well have a nice campsite, so we can wash the dishes, dump the water, etc., so we actually stayed at a KOA! Ben and I played a few rounds of ping pong while the guys dumped the sewage (we only had water and electric), then we all jumped in the pool, which felt really refreshing after a couple of nights at truck stops!
It was around 7 pm when we arrived and they were serving ice cream sundaes from 7 to 8 pm, so we took advantage of that, too. I ran to Walmart (only 3/4 mile away) for buns, potato salad, and a few other supplies, and Daryl grilled burgers for supper. We all enjoyed having good wifi!
