We drove to Williamsburg on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
When we arrived in Williamsburg, we stopped and ate at Applebee's.
It was there that I discovered my new love for ranch dressing.
Both Mom and Dad and Nanny and Pappa had a hot wings appetizer that came with a dish of ranch.
I ate both dishes of ranch and nothing else.
