This post is a bit of a hodgepodge of places and things we have been doing since back in the U.S. The first adventure below is an outing to the movie theatre at The Harbour in Rockwall Texas and lunch afterwards at Gloria’s an excellent Mexican restaurant.
The second thing we would like to talk about are the gas prices and the stations. The gas prices since leaving Canada have continuously gone down in our travels. While we are not naive to think this will continue, we will take what we can get. The lowest we have paid thus far was $2.49 a gallon, and this happened to be at a Buc-ees. Buc-ees, like the Loves, are huge gas stations that have restaurants, convenience stores, and propane which is super convenient for us. The Buc-ees signage is also creative. We have one photo below, but here are some other signage quotes: Only 262 miles to Buc-ees. You can hold it; If it harms Beavers we’re against it; Top two reasons to stop at Buc-ees: #1 & #2; Ever had Beaver Nuggets?; Meat good, jerky better; Sausage Kolache with 50% more meat. (We’re gonna need a bigger beaver); Eat here, get gas; Restrooms so clean, we leave mints in the urinals; My overbite is sexy; OMG It’s a beaver! LOL!; Ice.Beer.Jerky All 3 food groups!; Hey buses 49 toilets!; Your throne awaits, fabulous restrooms; Epic flush 21 miles; Coffee you can sink your teeth into; Ice made from scratch! 20 lbs for 99cents; The eyes of Buc-ees are upon you; It’s potty time; Restrooms you gotta pee in to believe; everything you ever needed, you just didn’t know it; I brake for Beavers.
Next is some exercise outdoors. We do a lot of walking, but when one comes upon an exercise park, one needs to partake.
Here we are in Missouri which was day 3, and even though we are in week 3 this is worth the mention on this “catch-up blog”
