During
the year our group, Cruisin For Heroes, partners with a few like minded Veteran
centric organizations, like Rolling Thunder Inc., to raise awareness and money
for our Veterans needs. We have
partnered with Rolling Thunder, VA3 a few times last year and one of the things
we like to do to support their mission is attend their Spring Poker Run. Since we rode a motorcycle for over 40 years,
the call of the open road still beckons from time to time but now we answer it
on 4 wheels. The Poker Run was fun,
running from different fire houses/rescue squads and ending up at Virginia
Barbeque in Fredericksburg, VA. The run
took about 2 hours total and we decided to have lunch at Tim’s II Seafood in Fairview
Beach before we came in to the final stop.
Tim’s is always a good choice for seafood around our area and Saturday
was no exception. The waitress was very
friendly and efficient….a good experience.
When
we checked in at the last stop, Debie had the best poker hand….for about 5
min! The Princess had nothing so when
Debie’s hand was bettered we thanked Mac, the President of Rolling Thunder, for
inviting us to the day’s festivities then we headed to Carl’s Ice Cream. Carl’s is a very special place around here….and
actually Nationwide too! It’s on a very
important list that some very important people codified for us minions….so we
know where the good ice cream is kept…..Carl’s is near the top of that list. Whenever we are within….oh…..500 miles of
Carl’s, the Princess begins to whine about how bad she needs Carl’s ice cream….it’s
incessant….and the only way to quench the noise….is to visit Carl’s….you have
no idea….
We
were going to cruise to Orange, VA and the monthly cruise at the BK on Rt. 15
after the Poker Run….but the Princess was getting tired and wanted to go
home. When I suggested that too much ice
cream can make one tired she began to talk to me through her clinched teeth….never
a good thing. Hehehehe David had agreed to visit the BK cruise in
Orange to pass out flyers for our Bruster’s cruise (more ice cream) so that
task was covered…..we cruised home and got the farm truck ready for Sunday…..
