Chick-fil-A Grand Opening!!!

Some close friends of ours told us about this thing that all Chick-fil-A's do for their grand opening. So when we learned that we were getting a Chick-fil-A right around the corner from our house, we watched as it was built and found out it was opening today! The thing is, you have to be one of the first 100 people in line and if you are you get 52 coupons for free value meals. So we called some friends and the adventure began. We arrived at the new Chick-fil-A at 10:30 yesterday morning and set up camp. The store hired a DJ, so once it got dark there was a dance party. Oh yea baby! No, David didn't dance! Anyway, you have to stay in the parking lot until they open at 6am this morning. You can't leave for any reason, so we sat around the parking lot of Chick-fil-A from 10:30 am yesterday and left this morning at about 6:45am. But we left with 104 coupons for free chick-fil-a food. Was it worth it? YES!!!

More details...

It was a nice partly cloudy day (68 degrees was the high for the day and 58 was the low - although because of the wind and rain it felt much colder) for most of yesterday except for being really windy. But about 9pm it started storming. I mean really windy and it rained until early this morning. Our tent got flooded, and all our stuff is wet but we stayed dry on our air mattress, and even got some sleep. They fed us lunch, dinner, milkshakes in the afternoon, chicken nuggets at like 10:30 and ice cream sundae's at midnight. All for free!!! It was such an adventure - we had a ton of fun hanging out with friends from church and building memories. There were retired couples who travel around to the grand openings just for the fun of it. A few of the couples drove from Illinois and Virginia. There were also a ton of UF students some of whom had done this like 20 times.

I thought you may like to see the pictures of the activities of the past 24 hours.

Oh and for all you moms, i took my kids, but they did not spend the night.

Oh and a word to the Nam's, we look forward to doing this again with you guys. What fun that would be! Let's find one where we can vacation together and do.

Who's up for the next go round? I think its in Jacksonville in a few weeks :)
