Since Tony had an "away" football game, I stayed home to work on prepping the rig for tomorrow. We plan to go to Terrell, to visit family and do some shopping. Tony got home from the game about 2am!
Saturday, September 3
This morning, we were a little slow to get going, but we were ready to go by 11:15 and hit the road to the metroplex. We stopped for lunch at DQ Restaurant, then continued on. We had talked about stopping at the Blue Beacon to get the truck and rig washed, but figured the Weatherford location would be pretty busy. As we drove by, I looked over and saw it really wasn't! So we exited and went back, and did not have to even wait! First time, ever! They did a really good job.
After the wash we continued on. There were quite a few rvs on the road, along with lots of folks moving. We passed these folks, I guess they got a good deal on a Labor Day Mattress sale! It was quite scary, the wind was catching and pulling the mattresses into the air. It looked like it was going to bust the rope at any time.
We were also slowed about 10 minutes from our exit due to a wreck. We got to Bluebonnet Ridge about 3:15pm. One of the nice things is they give you fresh cookies when you arrive! We ate our cookies and got set up pretty quickly.
Tony laid down on the bed while we tried to cool off, and promptly fell asleep.
After a nap, we got up and decided to head over to the outlet mall for shoes, then went to eat Mexican food. We ran in to BigLots and Brookshires for a few things, then headed back to the rig. A busy first day!!
Sunday, September 4th
Today, we got up and met Tony's folks for lunch. Then we went to Rockwall for some more shopping. We also went by our storage units. I got a replacement monitor for my desk -- one that is much lighter, runs cooler, and has a better resolution. We then headed to Mesquite, and went to Harbor Freight for a few items, and then met my folks for dinner. We had a good visit.
After dinner, we headed back to Terrell, and did a little driving around town to see our old neighborhood and see how town had changed some since we moved away in 2015.
We got home about 8:00, Tony watched a little tv while I set up my monitor, and went to bed. Another packed day!
Monday, September 5th (Labor Day)
Today we got up and going fairly quickly, and started getting ready to go. However, Tony needed fuel, so we decided to go over to Bucees to get fuel and look around a bit.
1.5 hours later, we got back to the rig, ate our Bucees sandwhiches and started packing up.
Tony was outside when some Heartland Owners Forum folks dropped by to say hi. They are waiting to take delivery on their new Landmark. We didn't get to visit long, but glad to meet them!
We pulled out about 2pm, and headed home. We had some traffic around 175, where there had been an accident.
The road back home was busy, but not too bad. We pulled in about 4:30 and got set back up. Tony went and got us food, while we waited for the rig to get cooler.
We ate dinner and crashed in front of the tv for a while. I had some work to do, so I did that while Tony headed to bed.
Glad to be home again, but trip was way too short. We "Labored our Days" a lot more than rested for our 3-day weekend!
