We got up our usual time, around 6:30. We went downstairs, poured some coffee and sat out on the porch of the Angel facing the Ocean watching the mocking birds chase blackbirds and listening to a song bird. It was a most pleasant morning.Breakfast was a little late but I didn't mind. I had French Toast on a layer of Bananas Foster. It was good but I'm not a fancy breakfast person. We then rode bikes on beach towards town. When it got a little busy we turned around and stopped at a few fenced in gardens that I photographed. Takeoff was planned for 10 which we did OK. I bought Libbie a piece of jewelry from the display case next to the desk. We took the Parkway for $1 and the Atlantic City Expressway for $3 without incident. Had to pay $4 on the Walt Whitman bridge to get back into Philly. Had a little trouble finding airport gas - a lot of the stations weren't there anymore which was surprising. Got to Hertz OK, we had one minor incident in that our wheel cover was missing. We told Hertz we left the terminal without the wheel cover. They didn't charge us for it. Found out our flight was delayed 30 minutes on the board. We enjoyed the brand new Southwest terminal. They have lots of security screening stations. Our flight ended up being late one hour due to storms in St Louis. They claimed the airport there was closed for a while. The flight was smooth except for the last 15 minutes. We had to descend through some thick clouds which was very bumpy. Waiting for the shuttle took a while. Our shuttle took 15 minutes - when the shuttle finally arrived it was full. We had to wait for the next one. Got home around 5 PM. All was well except we left the door to the garage open and left the kitchen light on. My dinner tonight was veggie pizza bu lean cuisine. This is a nice 300 calorie dinner.
