Breaky

Complimentary hot motel breakfast bars offer great people watching during summer vacation. Families show up early, fully dressed for a day of fun; others drift in wearing pajamas, barely making it as the food gets cleared away. Oatmeal, yogurt, apples, hard boiled eggs, muffins, and lots of toast options are laid about, and can really provide a good start to ones day depending on the upkeep and freshness of the food at said motel chain.

Two smiley sleepy kids with overflowing bowls of Fruit Loops are walking by me now, while their mom follows with milk and spoons. I'm watching my kids, who are waiting their turn to make a Belgium waffle. Today's coffee selection looks more like weak tea, but the convenience of this grab and go is just too good and easy.

A table of senior saints seems displeased about the powdered scrambled eggs, while folding and unfolding their hotel brochures, planning that days activities. They are very cute and particular in their ways.

This breakfast area is a hub of life where the day begins. Hotels get booked because of this offering. There is something for everyone, plus, you can't beat the convenience, the family friendliness, and the built in savings. With radio the big giveaway is great: the Summer Jam exclusive tickets, the trips and cars. Everything works well when the Fruit Loop dispenser stays full, and the milk is cold.
