Nothing Tastes More Like Summer Than a Root Beer Float

Rather than heading back home after my accounting class yesterday, I decided that I would find myself a new lunch spot on the peninsula and would progressively make my way down to Palo Alto by the time my soccer game started.

I stumbled on a mom and pop place called The Pantry that does breakfast all day and then sandwiches and dinner, too. I decided to get a tuna melt and a root beer float. The sandwich could have been a lot better - it was tuna, celery, American cheese, and a little bit of soy sauce residue I think. Not the tuna melt I was hoping for. And a few hours later, I regretted it even more.

Even the root beer float also left a lot to be desired. It was a paper cup with a bunch of root beer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I know what you're thinking, "thanks for the description of a root beer float, genius." But it was a little bit disappointing to look at.

But the taste was just like summer. I was instantly transported to our family vacation locale in Graeagle (pronounced Gray Eagle) that's coming up next month.

Anyway, I'll keep this brief. Don't go to The Pantry in San Mateo. Do go get a root beer float sometime soon!
