orange juice (8 0z.)
Seeing that we were in the Richfield Shopping Center, we stopped in at the grocery store to stock up on some munchies for the ride home (which the three of us shared),
green seedless grapes
Honest Ade orange mango juice
Tate's Bake Shop white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies

Mine was a
ham & Swiss on rye, w/ lettuce, tomato, & mustard
potato salad (1 pint)
Snapple peach tea (16. oz)
Turned in the rental car at 6 p.m. and headed home. Where I needed one more snack (okay, two, technically)
Triscuits, original (6. Just 6)
Friendly's caramel ice cream, w/caramel sauce (2 scoops)
Vacation over!!!! Ugh!!!
