Saturday Night

It's Saturday night and we are home watching a movie.  We had a busy day.  We got up at 5:45 (thank you Drama and Brother Boy) and took the boys for a walk about 6:30.  About 8, we left to go to Cigna for me to get a flu shot.  After that, we stopped at a few garage sales.  Very disapointing.  Lots of nasty, gross stuff for sale!  We then went to Ross to exchange a lighted dog leash that didn't work.  Then we went to the Dollar Tree to get some LED flashlights.  We tried to take the dogs in, but we got kicked out because they sell food there and said the health department doesn't allow them to have dogs in there.  Next we got on the road to IKEA to return the Poang chairs.  We discovered that they don't fit in the space in the motor home where we wanted to put them.  Fortunately they were still boxed up and the covers in plastic. 

After IKEA we came home and relaxed.  I did some laundry and we took cat naps in our recliners.  About 3:30 we decided to get cleaned up and head out for dinner.  On the way, we stopped at CostCo and returned the medicine cabinets we bought since we are now not going to remodel the bathroom.  After that, we headed downtown to FEZ.  We had a fabulous dinner, then on the way home, stopped at Redbox to rent some movies.  I asked Dennis when we got old.  It's not even 8 and we're in for the night.  We're now kicking back, having a beer and watching the movie Fast and Furious.

Tomorrow, Patrick's helping us return the vanity to CostCo with his truck, then Lisa and I are going back to IKEA to return the lights we got for the bathroom that don't fit/work and a sliding tray she bought.  Then, we should be all done returning stuff. 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Very hot here in Phoenix.  We are hoping the cool weather comes back very soon!  Take care!!

Weekend with the girls

This past weekend, I went up to the motor home with Lisa and Lyn.  We hung out, relaxed, had some great food and beverage, and went on an amazing buggy ride.  We went to Blue Ridge Reservoir and Blue Ridge Dam, just a little ways from Clint's Well.  We had to travel about 4 miles on the highway, but there was absolutely no traffic on Saturday!  The Reservoir is about 4.5 miles off of Hwy 87 on Forest Road 751, and the Dam is another 2 miles past the reservoir.  The views were amazing.  I was also awe struck at how close you can get to the actual dam and see on the other side of it.  It's a great place to go for a day-trip from Phoenix, or for the weekend if you want to tent camp in the area. There's also a public RV park, Happy Jack Lodge, just 4 miles away from Clint's Well and it's open year-round.

It was a little chilly up there since it is October, but it was so nice and relaxing.  Dennis and I are going up with a bunch of friends this weekend, and we're bringing our motor home back to Phoenix, since Clint's Well is closing next week for the season.  It's been a great summer, and we are looking forward to winter camping!

Our big trips coming up include Roosevelt Lake in mid-November and Temecula, California for Thanksgiving.  We are looking forward to hitting the road with the motor home!!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!  Please visit my Examiner.com page (link to the left) for the full story on Blue Ridge Reservoir and Blue Ridge Dam.  Thanks!
