Day (4): Just dip it in some butter

On the first full day in the Jers, what could possibly be better than taking RB's sister Julia and her friend Katherine to Six Flags. I wasn't even aware Jersey had a Six Flags but look out Southern folk- this one may actually be bigger and better than the beloved ATL. So off we went with free vouchers for the younger two, and half price coups for us big kids. Oh and one wonderful fanny pack- now known as the Fannytastic Pack- wrapped around Rebecca. As always, the park offered a Great Adventure (as advertised), especially with the mill of Jersey folk wondering around. Again, I will hearken to a picture. Meet Roger, the creeper security man who likes to do magic and carry around some floppy dead raccoon looking thing:








Nuff said. Back at the Bieber B&B, the adventurous dinner of the evening was watching Daniel all on his lonesome be the newcomer to eating an ENTIRE LOBSTER. This was hands down one of the most frightening dining experiences of my life. Mainly because it involved one of the family members saying, "So to start, just rip off the legs and suck the meat out," after they threw the entire body onto my plate. Soon the motto of "Just dip it in butter and stick it in your mouth" emerged as the theme from consuming the artichoke the night before and the lobster. I'll credit RB with that genius line. From there it was all downhill as I had to twist and break and drain the thing. But, oy was it delicious. I have now decided if I'm ever in charge of a fancy shmancy dinner (such as when I become president of the United States of Daniel and host a gala dinner) I will be serving lobster to all the nicely dressed folk and sit back and laugh while they try to figure out how to gracefully eat the thing.
