Upon returning to Mindy's dad's house, Christmas presents were distributed. Among the highlights for the girls - fishing rods and a tackle box; two kiddie laptop computers and a heap of craft supplies. On top of the stuff they bought at Disney, they had quite a good haul for the week.
Saturday was spent hanging out at the house as avoiding crowds, lines and people in general was a priority after the past week. We watched a few movies with the kids and a number of episodes of "Cash Cab", easily the best game show on TV. For those not familiar, it is set in a New York taxi and passengers/contestants get to answer questions for money on the way to their destination. Sounds simple and it is, but the host is funny and upbeat and the people often end up being fun as well. So we will certianly keep our eyes open for the cab when next in New York.
Dinner was had at Sonny's BBQ, another of our regular stops when visiting here. The family feast consisting of beef; pork; chicken; ribs; bread; 3 sides and 4 drinks for $36 was seen as being good value. This was made even better when we were told that the option to make this "all-you-can-eat" for another $6 was still available (I remember this from a previous visit). A little concerning was the news from our waitress that we were not going to get any beef as "the beef was nasty and had to be thrown out". Hopefully the pork/ribs/chicken were OK as we ate enough to be quite miserable tomorrow if there is some sort of problem. So far, so good!
