Does anyone else (besides Julie) remember this beverage?Those were the days when our moms would give us a little over a buck and Julie and I would cruise down to the "Bottle Shop" Liquor store on our bicycles and pick up the necessities:
- Clearly Candian
- Box of Boston Baked Beans
- Box of lemon drops
- Willy Wonka Dinosaur Eggs or Gobstoppers
- Skor candy bar
I haven't seen a Clearly Canadian beverage in YEARS. If anyone knows where to find one (aside from ordering some off the internet) let me know!! I went to AM/PM to buy a candy bar a few weeks ago and I was stunned to see that a normal size candy bar was 90 cents!! Now I feel like my dad when he woul tell us about picking up candy for a nickel. I think they were 45 cents back...a while ago! :)
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.

I loved Clearly Canadian and also loved the Bottle Shop. We walked to Saddle Flask in our neck of the woods! I think they still have them here in IL but they look different!
