I leave by 9 or so, we're generally there around lunchtime. I like to make a stop at Wendy's for a quickie lunch and then head to the Inn. I am also good with the Bob Evans lunch, we had a nice meal there last year, I'm sure we'd have been hitting it for at least one of our meals anyway.
I don't remember if the little coffee area has cocoa packets or not, but you are correct as far as the tea & hot water. Who brought the big bag of Swedish fish last year? We need fish again, I can hit Costco for some. And I'm sure I'll bring brownies, it's what I do.
