Today was not a long driving day, just about sixty miles from Cheyenne, WY to Loveland, CO. We got up and asked the people at the front desk for breakfast suggestions. We ended up at a little place called the Egg and I. I guess this is a local chain and I highly recommend it. They really serve up some delicious looking dishes with flavor to match.
I had always planned this as sort of a down day. I had hoped to meet up with some writing friends, but they couldn't get free until Friday. So mom and I just settled into our hotel room and relaxed for the day. I managed to do some writing while she mostly read a book on Laural Ingalls-Wilder who wrote the Little House on the Prairie books.
After dinner we went to see the movie "Nights in Rodanthe" with Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Although the plot was terribly obvious from the beginning, it was enjoyably romantic. Lane plays a recent divorcee who is struggling to make a new life for herself and Gere a doctor facing a disastrous malpractice suit. They come together at a B&B on North Carloina's outer banks during a hurricane. The rest is steamy, but all too predictable. We both enjoyed it and a movie was the perfect way to end this day of rest.

A relaxing day with some fun gals and good books? Sounds like a great vacay to me!
What was the book your Mom was reading? I read LHoP when I was a young girl, makes me want to read it again to see if I enjoy it as much now as I did then.
