Tony's School trip to Washinton DC: Day 1


This was a day of travel for the a group of 10 5th graders and 5 adults (including me). After an uneventful 5 hour flight, we boarded a bus for a two hour journey to Williamsburg Virginia for the first day of US history at a breakneck pace.

Our first meal stop was at at the Golden Coral Steakhouse and Buffet. The only historical connection was "1776," as in the average weight of the people eating at the Golden Coral Steakhouse and Buffet. If a raging alcoholic came stumbling into a happy hour, it would be illegal to keep serving them 99 cent cocktails, but these people have come into this $10 food fest tipping the scales at 400 and they can just eat their way to 450 if the want.

This being Virginia, they also smoke between each bite. This make for nice ambiance and surprisingly good mac and cheese.

For the half of the bus that was joining us from Bakersfield our "luxury coach" and all you can eat dining might seem pretty upscale, but for this city boy... it is going to be long week.
