We decided that since we had the storm damage repaired, and had not been anywhere since March, we needed to go somewhere to get away for a bit. Also to check out the repairs. I went early Thursday to pick our site, since Texas State Parks do not let you reserve specific sites, only that you have a site reservation. I looked at what was available and though our preferred pull-through was not free, I picked a back-in I thought we could get into. We arrived just after 5pm, and got settled in. It was extremely DARK at our site, so I tried out our rope light for "location lighting."
Friday we both had to go to work, but an easy 30 min additional drive from Tawakoni. We had tacos for dinner and relaxed. We saw two new Heartlands in the park, a Sundance and a Big Country.
Saturday Tony had to go in for the last teacher in-serivce day at school, then came back just about lunchtime. We had sandwhiches on flatbread. I did some various tasks around the trailer, and we relaxed, took a nap, and enjoyed being away. Also took a scenic drive around the county roads around and over the lake. We went by the old marina Tony said they used to keep their boat. For dinner, Tony grilled chicken on the new O-Grill, it was great! We also went for a bike ride around the park, and saw a beautiful sunset.
Sunday Tony played drums in church service. We returned, ate lunch and napped. We had to start watching the weather, due to some pop-up severe thunderstorms. The park rangers came by and told us where the shelter was if we wanted to go there, and to keep an eye on the news. One got fairly close, thundering and cooling down the temps, but died before getting rain on us. We started packing some things to get ready to leave, and watched the Mavs NBA Finals game. Took pics with Eileen, as we always do. She felt right at home, since our site was fairly wooded.
Monday we got up early and got loaded up. Tony had to take the trailer to the dump station, while I hurried back to town to get ready for work. He is off now, so he could take the trailer home and unload it during the day.
Overall a quick, but enjoyable trip.
