BooBoo & Danny's

When we were chatting with Judy & Herb yesterday I mentioned that I liked family restaurants over national chains.  That is when Judy suggested we go to BooBoos here in Arlington, TX.  It is a family owned restaurant that has been in business for 33 years.  They have limited hours and mainly are open for lunch only.  That was fine with us and we went there today.

They have a limited but nice menu with two soups available.  We had a soup and a sandwich and one half.  The sandwiches were fine and I enjoyed the Cheese Broccoli soup very much.  Judy & Herb met us there and then went back to their house, while we returned to the motorhome.  It rained all the time we were going there and when we returned to the MH.   Judy & Herb came by later and visited for a while and then went home.

We called Gerry's nephew Jerry K and made arrangements to meet him, wife Rose and daughters Kayleen and Kaitlyn for dinner.  We had planned on eating pizza outside on the picnic table, but the non stop rain put an end to that idea.  We met them at Danny's Chicago pizza restaurant down the road from us.  They arrived a few minutes before us and got a nice table for the six of us.

I had called in an order for a Chicago deep dish pizza since it took 45 minutes to cook it.  They ordered a large pepperoni pizza that could have fed all of us, however I don't like pepperoni pizza.  We couldn't even finish 1/2 of the deep dish pizza and brought the leftovers back to the motorhome.

Each slice was about 8 inches long and filled us up very fast.  It looks like lunch for the next few days is taken care of.

Jerry and family stopped by the MH and we had a nice visit.  Jerry likes sports and keeps up with his teams and we chatted non stop about sports.  It was nice to get a sports fix.  The girls chatted like magpies and caught up on what has been going on in their lives since we last saw them 1 1/2 years ago.  We enjoyed the visit and since they had a long drive, they left around 9pm.  Great seeing you guys.

We have a slow leak in our rear tire on the car and I had to put some air in it this evening after they left.  It cost $1.00 for air at a service (oops, no service there) station and the pump was lousy.  I never filled the tire completely and hope I can drive to a repair shop in the morning to get it repaired.  If not, I will have to put the spare on and drive to the shop.  I'm not optimistic about the tire holding up all night.  We shall see.

That was our day, how was yours?

  1. We like local restaurants so much more than chains. Since I don't eat cheese, your pizza picture didn't even tempt me. Thank goodness. Good luck with the tire.

  2. Send a picture of Jerry and his family...I haven't seen them in years. Rain stopped here yesterday and we had a great day of sun and 78 degrees. I was in Raleigh working but got home a little early and did all the yard work...drank a few beers, sat on the front porch and went to bed...that's how my day was!!
