A relaxed day

On the road

Today a relaxed day on the road. Went shopping at the mall, eat some BBQ at Bubbalou’s and picked up some BBQ goods with Serial Grillaz, Huddle Lee Stokes and Josine Pierik, at Whiskey Bent and Swampboys.

A very relaxed day today. No need to hurry or rush at all. We went on the road to visit the Premium Mall at International Drive. We stayed a while, visited a couple of stores and picked up some goods that will come in handy for the BBQ contests. After a while we started to get a bit hungry, but due to some issues with the water, foodcourt was closed. We visited a couple of more stores and then decided to leave the mall and head to Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ.

There we had a bit of everything. Ribs, more ribs, brisket sandwich, chicken wings and chicken leg, sliced pork and beef and with all that some drinks. The food was good, but in no way comparable to competition cooked meat.

From there it was heading over to Lakeland to pay a visit to Whiskey Bent. Unfortunately Chad was unable to join us in the store due to some meetings, but we were greeted and helped professionally. A very nice store with a great selection of rubs and sauces. Best of all, you can sample any you’re interested in, so you will certainly leave with the rubs and sauces of your choice.

After most needed items had been bought we moven on to Winter Haven, to pay a visit to Swamboys. We were very warmly welcomed and had a tour through the home and garden. We saw the many, many trophies displayed, the cooker area in the huge garden and met the whole family. We picked up a drum, the Serial Grillaz Grizzly cooler and some smaller items.

By then it was already time to head back to Kissimmee, where we unpacked the cars and then spent some time around the house. Later that evening, we went to a couple of gift shops on the Irlo W. Bronson Memorial Highway and Walmart for some more shopping.

The evening ended with a late night steak snack and called it a night
