Finally, Sonic comes to Toledo!

It was announced in todays local newspaper, there will finally be a Sonic in Toledo with the first one opening in August. For years, I have been driven mad by the Sonic commercials that would play on the television. Why was this commercial on the TV when as far as I could find there was not a Sonic to be found within 100 miles! Your mouth would water as they described their Burgers and Slushies. So, when I drove to Florida with my family I added " Eat at a Sonic" to my life list. I would once and for all find this elusive restaurant!
Well, as luck would have it there was a Sonic a few miles away from the Condo we were staying at in Florida. The night we decided to experience Sonic's it was pretty funny. We pulled up into the restaurant parking lot in our "We are so white-bread mini-van" and the lot was filled with Hispanic street racers. Almost every spot was taken up by a "crotch rocket" or modified Honda Civic. We stood out like a sore thumb but not to be deterred we were on a mission. Even my kids were excited to actually see a Sonic. Well, I must report that they have one of the best burgers I have ever ate at a fast food restaurant and great Slushies with flavors like watermelon, blue coconut and my favorite Pineapple. If you like burgers look for the Sonic in August and let me know what you think!
