A good day off - 2/8/15

Today we took a day off from volunteering at the Museum and drove over to Carlsbad. It's just a few miles south of here and among other things, they have a lovely beach. The Pacific ocean is full of cold water but a beach is always a welcome sight.
For lunch we went to the nearby Tip Top Meats and European Delicatessen. We went there for dinner a couple of nights ago. They serve huge portions and the food was pretty good, but the best part was the sauerkraut so this time we decided to stick to their German dishes. The portions were so big that today we ordered just one dish to share: the Oktoberfest Platter with Bratwurst, Knackwurst and Smoked Polish, served with German potato salad, red cabbage, sauerkraut and a dinner roll. It was solid, authentic German fare, and we will definitely be coming back.
Back at the Museum I discovered some of the guys are working on one of the older cars. It's impossible to say how old it is because it's actually cobbled together from several cars. But they have it running just fine.
And for dinner Randy made a loaf of Sourdough bread. We added the leftovers from the Tip Top and had a great meal. This was awesome!
