Make the Car Go Crazy

Eric remembers this from his childhood.  The car would swerve back and forth, seem to turn without warning or some other such craziness.  He wanted our van to go crazy and wind up somewhere we could have a yummy breakfast.  Good idea except Jodi found out we were going for breakfast and when we said, "Not McDonald's!"  there was meltdown and hiding behind the couch in tear gushing disappointment.  Well that saved us $40 at a sit down restaurant dear, thanks.  No, actually we made a compromise: you can be happy and go where the crazy car goes or you can stay home.  We went to breakfast.  Smart girl.  None of us have eaten since then either.  Granma's House of Pancakes has HUGE portions - I'm so glad I'm not counting calories or watching my weight!  (can you hear the sarcasm?)  It was a lot of fun anyway.  I love that you can count on American's to have a great breakfast!  I'm comparing the breakfast options they have in Europe which are frankly downright dismal.  Eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, crepes, omelets, hash browns, fruit, whipped cream , orange juice, chocolate milk, hot chocolate - this was just at our table - the menu had so many more options.  Yummy!  Sorry we forgot the camera or I would have a picture of Marcus' adorable Mickey Mouse pancake.
