The Big Bopper Drive-In
The plan was to visit Paula’s Pancake House but the 45 minute wait torpedoed the plan. Next the requirement we eat at a place in a one block radius led us to The Big Bopper Drive-In.

Yelp Elite Event at Handel’s Vista
Nice to see another ice cream joint in Vista. Yelp and Handel’s was holding an Elite Event to celebrate the new shop so I signed up to check it out. Driving up I noticed a cool mural across the street. When I first visited Maggie in Vista we would get cool treats at Pepper Tree Frosty. Great classic ice cream shop.

The Hitching Post II
