This morning the gals (Pam & I) and the guys (Dennis & Dean) decided to do some shopping. Pam and I headed to Old McAllen. Thank you, Helen & Hoot, for telling us about Old McAllen! Dean and Dennis had a few stops to make at Home Depot's and Lowe's looking for boards, lights, and stuff like that!
Pam and I made our first stop at Casa Kevin and then moved in to the downtown area and visited a few other shops. This is a fun place to go! After our last stop at the Pet Store, we headed back to Pam & Dennis' park so we could go to lunch. After throwing out a few ideas, we finally decided on the Riverside Club - the place with the extra large pork tenderloin sandwiches. Dean and I shared a sandwich and I was stuffed when we left. My goodness those sandwiches are filling.
We noticed this really interesting tree that gave off this vibe of don't get too close as we were walking to the restaurant. Before we left I asked the waitress if she knew what kind of tree it was. She said it was a kapok tree. I sure would hate to stumble in to it.
After lunch, we took a drive to nearby Anzalduas Park before returning to Dennis and Pam's park to drop them off. After we returned to Bentley, I started cleaning. Dean is going to be gone most of the day tomorrow playing golf and I plan to clean the RV top to bottom, so thought I'd get a head start.
After having our leftover pizza from yesterday for dinner, Dean and I walked around the park twice to get a little exercise. Recently someone spruced up our park bench lady with some new clothes, makeup, fingernail polish, jewelry and cowboy boots. Dean really took a liking to her. I'm going to have to keep an eye on him!
