Shopping and Johnny Rockett's

We began our day with breakfast at the clubhouse. This included orange juice, eggs, bacon, grits and toast. Jean, Pete, Bruce and I went to belk shopping. GREAT sales!!!!! Good time by all. Then we went Riley shopping and bought her a new summer outfit for next summer.

Bruce and I went in search of a chili cheese dog for me and a bacon cheesburger for him. We rode by the Steak n Shake and Hamburger Joe's. Both had people standing out the door and all around. We went to Barefoot Landing to a 50s restaurant called Johnny Rocket's. This was a great choice. 50s music and the waiter and waitresses sang and 'danced'.

Johnny Rocketts is an American restaurant franchise whose concept is to create a classic American restaurant atmosphere. This concept began in 1986 by Ronn Teitelbaum of Los angeles, California and crafted it as a 'nongimmicky' recreation of the 1940s vintage malt shops of his childhood. the first restaurant was established as a 20 stool counter operation on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The theme is diner style that was a common sight by the 1950s. Decor includes Coca Cola advertising featuring almost life sized cardboard illustrations of women in WWII armed services uniforms, individual jukebox stations, chrome accents and red vinyl seats. The staff sing and dance every 30 minutes. making a smiley face with ketchup on the paper plate when served american french fries is a Johnny Rockett trademark.

We had such an electrical storm this afternoon. But we could not complain since this was only the second day that we had such rain.
Jean, Pete, Bruce and I went for coffee and dessert at Goodfellows Seafood Hut and Bar. Michelle was working and we took the album of Petie pictures that she had requested we bring.
