After our walk, we collected my mom and went off to breakfast at 3 G's Gourmet Deli. We had a great hot pastrami sandwich from there yesterday, and went back for breakfast today.
We missed the breakfast menu by an hour, but the lunch menu included some breakfast items.
My mom and Carol shared the Spinach, Bacon and Feta Omelet:
I had the most amazing Fruit and Nut French Toast. It's a homemade with fruit nut bread with raisins, dates, walnuts, dried apples, dried cranberries, and cinnamon dipped in egg batter and grilled golden.
Amazing!
On a Sunday they go through 20 loaves!
Here's Carol leaning up against our Chevy Impala Hertz Rental Car. My mom thinks this is the best photo.
The parking lot for 3 G's is insane with lots of people stopping in the middle of the road to unload old people and their walkers. This parking lot is not for impatient people.
After breakfast we took a road trip to Festival Flea Market on Sample Road in Pompano Beach, FL. This is the big one. It's so big that you need to make sure you remember the door you came in so you can find your car in the parking lot when leaving.
There are lots of great bargains here on clothing, eyeglasses and jewelry.
Here's what one of the tables full of wathces looks like:
There was a very interesting wig store there and I was intrigued by the sample heads with wigs on display:
In this picture you can see how mammoth the flea market is. There are rows and rows that look like this. My mom is trying on a hat she'd never buy. Carol looks on.
Our next stop was the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida. The mall is said to be the country's third largest. We shopped in the Colonade area of outlet stores. It was lots of fun and Carol got a few things for great deals.
After shopping we stopped in at the Grand Lux Cafe. It's the parent company of the Cheescake Factory.
Inside it looks like a casino:
On a technical note, I used my iPhone version 1.0 Google Maps to see where we were and follow the route home.
Google Maps on the iPhone is a great program.
Carol and I leave tomorrow, so from here on in, my mom will be filing updates from sunny Florida.
