Today Is Veterans Day. Many local restaurants are offering free meals to soldiers and Vets.

I had a free Breakfast at IHOP including 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage, and 2 pancakes.

Lunch I went to AppleBee’s and shared a table with 2 Marines and an Army soldier since the place was packed. I had the 7oz steak with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.

For dinner I went to Champs and had a bacon blue cheese burger with fries and a soda.Champs allowed Veterans to spend up to 15 dollars, and my meal came in at…15.00.

So today I ate out for (almost) free all day. I did pay for a cup of tea at IHOP and a soda at Applebees. Champs was the only place I had the entire meal covered. Ofcourse I tipped well at each place so there was that expense as well, but I still got off cheap with free meals. This was the first time I ever paid attantion to freebies and next year the wife and I will plan to do the same thing together. Why not? It is offered and we earned it.

We had a fox resting in our backyard this AM! He is had to see but if you look to the right of the tree and back along the fence you should be able to make him out. 11-11-2015 Veterans day 011

And you know I could not go all day without taking one picture of my meals. So here is the burger and fries. 11-11-2015 Veterans day 012
