So last summer was the summer Emily travels. A lot. Kind of. I quickly went from school to Genova to Florida, before finally landing off at home before heading back to school again.
I have family in Florida so ever since I was 6 or 7 we would spend a week or two in Florida. My mom hates traveling so we would take a family vacation there every other year just to visit my aunt and uncle and two cousins. Eventually, when I was in middle school and high school, my parents would just send my older brother and me to go without them. Soon, that turned into me taking solo trips to Florida and trips became more frequent. My oldest cousin moved to Arizona and would obviously take trips every summer to visit her parents, and I got to the point where I would show up every year when she would. "Vacation Boot Camp" became the normal thing each year and this included copious amounts of food. Marathon eating is a past time in our family. We find new places to eat and froyo was almost a daily thing. I moved from Gelato Month to Froyo week. Keep up metabolism, this is a test.
One of the new finds from my cousin this year was this amazing grilled cheese place. (As you can see it's called New York Grilled Cheese. Nice try Florida). They have this special grilled cheese that they make with bread thats like a waffle! Or they use a waffle press to make their grilled cheese? Whatever the case, this was pretty awesome grilled cheese!
Of course I went through a phase when I inhaled grilled cheese sandwiches like crazy. (Me and my food phases). I was never a fan of them when I was little but one time in high school something hit me and I realized, when it's made right, geesh grilled cheese is amazing! It's so easy too!
But the summer of 2013 I went to Lake George and had the most amazing grilled cheese I've ever had. It must've been that it was my first time on this little boat eating this perfect grilled cheese sandwich with the most incredible weather ever, during my first trip to this place that was beyond beautiful that I couldn't stop saying, "It's so beautiful here" that made that grilled cheese sandwich even more perfect. Those 5 days there were the worst and best five days of my life and I was just so in love with everything that everything after was a little less exciting. So for about a year I didn't have another grilled cheese sandwich because I knew it wouldn't be as amazing.
But this place in Florida, brought me back to grilled cheese. This place had really great flavors and the waffle bread just added to. Such a great find!
