Eat Mor Chikin!

A new Chick Fil A opened in Baltimore last Thursday. So, Andrew and I headed on over to be one of the first 100 people. If you are one of the first 100, then you are rewarded with 52 coupons for a Chick Fil A combo meal. That means that together, Andrew and I have 104! That's a lot of Chick Fil A.

We arrived around 11:30am on Wednesday morning. Andrew had plans to be there much earlier. But, it didn't work out. It is a good thing we didn't go any earlier because we were numbers 33 and 34. They didn't reach their 100th person until later in the afternoon, around 2. We got our tent all set up. Our tent is the little green one in the middle of the picture. It is my brother's and I remember camping in my backyard in it when I was little. The white structure to the left is a little shelter that a couple made just for these grand openings. They have it on wheels so they can just bring it on a trailer and wheel it into the parking lot. There were people there with satelite tv. People spared no luxury in this parking lot. The parking lot was completely filled with tents by the evening.


Soon after we got all set up, we were served dessert. We got cheesecake, brownies and a lemony pie thing. (I didn't really like the lemony thing. But, I'm not complaining.)


It ended up being one of the coldest days of the year. (I think the next day was slightly colder.) We got snowed on several times.


Chick Fil A rented these heaters for us to huddle around. They were very powerful. I know of at least 5 people that had something melted. I was still tempted to steal it and put it in our tent. We were allowed to go in and use the restrooms. But, we were not allowed to hang out inside (except to eat our ice cream sundae dessert at 10:30pm.) It was absolutely freezing. I believe our thermometer read 12 degrees when we got in the car the next morning. We did bring a small space heater to put in our tent. I was pretty comfortable next to it in our tent. Andrew was a little colder on the other side of the tent. But, at least we didn't freeze to death.

Chick Fil A took pretty good care of us. We got a chicken nugget lunch, a chicken sandwich dinner, a chicken nugget snack and a ice cream sundae dessert while we were there. We got to meet lots of fun people and Andrew and I got to go on our first camping trip together. It was a lot of fun and we are planning to do some more Chick Fil A grand openings. (Hopefully, they will be warmer than this one) So, if you are up for going to one with us, let us know. The more the merrier (unless you cause us to be numbers 101 and 102 :(.
