Tuesday, March 6, 2018 - Morning Walk; Planning our Route/Stops to Kansas; Dinner with Friends

It felt good to get out this morning and walk after little to no exercise this past week.  We were able to get in 1.6 miles.  It rained earlier this morning, so we took advantage of the break.  The radar indicated it would be raining here most of the morning, however I don't think it ever rained again until later in the afternoon/early evening.

After breakfast, Dean emptied tanks and I started working on planning our route from here in Mission back to Kansas.  We plan to take approximately 2 weeks to meander through Texas to arrive in Wichita on the 29th of March where we will spend a week with our two boys and their families there.  

I enjoy the route planning process.  Today, I managed to get most of the reservations for our return trip home set.  I hope to finish things up tomorrow.  Typically I would just call ahead for the next stop, possibly two.  Since spring break is coming up and many Winter Texans are heading back north, I'm going to book all campgrounds for the entire two weeks.  I was very fortunate, as one place I contacted yesterday only had one site left for the dates we need it, due to Spring Break.  It was a place we really wanted to stay at so I was thankful it worked out.

We will be leaving here the morning of March 14 and headed to Ron Hoover RV for the installation of the washer/dryer combo.  We need to be there between 9-9:30.  Hopefully it goes well and they can finish it in a decent timeframe.  We have a reservation at an RV Park just a short distance away for the night.   

At 4:00 we met our friends next door Dave, Nancy, Jay and Stella and followed them to Bubba's 33, a sports bar/restaurant.  We went for the pizza.  While these places tend to have good food, they are often loud with all of the TV's and music playing.  Fortunately there were not many people there yet, so it wasn't too bad.  We enjoyed watching some of the bicycling stunts on the TV nearest us, amazed at what some of these folks do.  On Tuesday Bubba's offers 2 of their signature pizzas for $19.99.  Most of those pizzas are regularly priced at $14.99.  We took advantage of the Tuesday special and purchased two - Meaty, Meaty and Hawaiian.  They were both excellent, and we now have dinner for Wednesday as well.  We both like pizza and enjoying trying new places.  We will definitely remember it for next winter.

We settled in to watch a movie on Amazon Prime.  We could not get in to it and both fell asleep.  We finally gave up and went to bed shortly after 8:30.  We both slept like a rock, so I guess we just needed a rest.
