I'm boycotting Donato's pizza. Well, at least the one in Canal Winchester.
Friday night we wanted pizza, so as usual we ordered it on the way home from work. It should have been a sign when Troy accidentally dialed Domino's, when trying to reach Donato's. We should have stuck with our usual Domino's.
We ordered our pizza and they said it would be 15-20min. Okay, no problem. On our way home we went to get the pizza. We got to the carryout window 20 min. after we order. It should be ready right? NOPE! They had a problem with orders printing and didn't make our pizza. We paid and got a free 2 liter. They told us to pull around to the side and wait 5 min. After 20min. (40 min. total) I was tired of waiting. I went inside to find out where the heck our pizza was. The cashier said, "They don't know which pizza belongs to who. I'll bring yours out as soon as they find it." So I go wait 20 more minutes. Now I'm livid... I go back inside (60 min. after ordering) to bitch at someone, but I didn't need to. Another guy had waited 50 min. for his 2 pizzas and was pitching a fit. Out comes the girl with my pizza... FINALLY!!! They were so unorganized/unprepared. I don't think I'll ever go back there again.

Much Needed Vacation
Over Christmas break we took a much needed 10 day vacation to Florida. It was wonderful!!!!
Last Spring Troy went the farthest west he'd ever been when we went to Arizona. Now Florida made the list as the farthest south he's been. My parents and I are really pushing his limits. But he loves it!! :) Both vacations were spent with my family. Hey! It's much cheaper when they are paying our room and board. This year we didn't even have to pay for the flight back or the gas on the way down.
We drove my mom's convertible down to them. I do not recommend long distance travel in a small car. We have already decided to get a V6 sedan for our next car, so we can travel more comfortably.
While in Florida I got to spend a lot of time with my mom and sister. Troy and dad vegged out in there own separate rooms when it was just the gals. Believe me! They needed the alone time.
Some days were chock full of outings. Other days we just hung out on the beach or by the pool.
Troy got to see Alligators in their natural habitat. He had only seen them in zoos, before our trip to Mayaka State Park. Troy saw a gator in the ditch as we approached the park. No one else saw it, so it could be a lie. We also saw a wild hog and a few deer in the park.
On our last day in FL, we went to the Bradenton Museum and Aquatic Center to see rescued manatees. They have one that is a permanent resident, because he is was the first manatee born in captivity. He is almost 60!!! The others are there only to recover from injuries.
The flight back on Skybus was interesting. Actually, the flight was fine. It was the wait that was interesting. The flight was 1.5 hours late and the airport was tiny. There were no other planes there. I found it quite funny when people started lining up to board the plane, when there was clearly no plane anywhere in sight. We got to celebrate New Years on a flight home and got home 10min. till 2am.
The trip was great, but too short as usual. Troy really liked retirement life, but he'll have to wait 20 more years at least! :)
