So, I will catch you up with my 'lasts' and then my 'firsts'.
I ended my 3 years with the Meltons on the last week of July. Dillon and I went all out! We went for a boat ride down the river, enjoyed a bike ride, cooled off in the pool, ate at our favorite places: Olive Garden, IHOP, and you guessed it!...Subway. I have to say, since my time watching Dillon ended, I have not eaten at Subway, but I feel like I am always looking for one. (for those that don't know, Dillon requested Subway for nearly, EVERY meal and typically got his wish.)
We had an interesting experience at Olive Garden. Dillon just couldn't enjoy his last time at Olive Garden without me, unless he ordered some mussels. I was quite weary; I knew there was no way he would actually enjoy them! However, at age 11, he convinced me that he ordered them in Miami and absolutely loved them, so I said, yes. Well, wouldn't you know, once those suckers came out so did the theatrics. All of a sudden it was a chore to convince him to eat them! I tried one, the waiter discussed the texture, consistency, and taste and finally after a table full of women sitting next to us said, "come on, just throw it back and swallow it!" he finally tried one. It was quite a dramatic afternoon...I had to leave the waiter a very nice tip to say the least, but it was all in fun.
Later that day, it started to rain, but he wouldn't let it get in his way of fun. So, he put on his rain gear and rode around on his golf cart. Then it was time for me to leave on my last day of work. It was an emotional day, but I know that it will not be the last time I see Dillon and the Meltons!
