Allen,TX

Well, it has been a few days, but we have bee enjoying our time off here in Allen.

We headed out of California with our FedEx load on Thursday morning around 0330. Made it into Ft. Worth,TX around 0615 Saturday morning. From there I headed up to the Pilot to send in our trips so that we could get paid. That is always important! From there we headed out to our storage unit out in Tawakoni to get some paperwork we would need for taxes.

After stopping for lunch at Soulman's BBQ, one of our favorite places, we headed to Michelle's where we were going to stay. We did have to make one stop at a marina that is on the way to check it out for our boat. All of this was on Saturday. We did go yesterday, Tuesday, and check a few other marinas there on the lake, but the one we looked at on Saturday was by far the nicest. It is Bayview Marina on Lake Ray Hubbard. They will add on to one of the docks for our boat since it is 53' and the main slips are 50' but they do that all the time when they get a new boat that won't fit in the slips. And the monthly slip fee is affordable. At only $481 a month, that is something I can work with. Electric and water at the slips, a sewar disposal dump, two restaurants and bars, a marina store, pool for slip owners and larger areas for grilling if you are having a larger party. I was very impressed and it is very well kept up. They also have security and you have a gated entry for each dock so unless you have a slip down there, you can't get in. I really like that part also. So as soon as we know a timeframe to move the boat down, we are going to get back with them and have them start construction on our slip!

We have been pretty lazy at home this time. The main reason we came home was to see Jessica since it is Spring Break. She drove up here and is staying with us here at Michelle's so it has been really nice and a lot of fun. She got her tongue pierced and that was an experience. Her tongue is still a little swollen since she had it done day before yesterday. I sympathize with her. I have mine pierced and remember well how swollen mine was for about 5 days. I am really hoping hers doesn't last that long.

Today we are going to get the truck cleaned out and finish up a last load of laundry. Try to hit Massage Envy and get a massage and then be ready to head out tomorrow morning. It has been so relaxing that I don't want to go back out. LOL Especially since we had lunch yesterday at a restaurant down on the lake and it was beautiful. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sun. I even ran into a friend from the Fire Department that I haven't seen since I quit dispatching so it was great to catch up with him. I believe he said that he has a boat also that he brings out to that lake so as soon as we get ours out there, I will definitely get ahold of him and we can have a floating party out on the lake.

Sorry nothing too exciting to write about. LOL But we will be out again tomorrow and maybe I will have something more exciting to tell you about! Have fun until then!
