The Dam Race Part 2 - The Ride Home!

Sunday, we all slept in, with Milo barking on and off throughout the night and constantly jumping up on to the bed it made for a sorta restless night of sleep for me.  We got up, showered, loaded the truck up and headed to Crossroads for breakfast, the place was packed but the wait was not very long, we had a good breakfast and headed to Lake Havasu City so Ken could stop at AZ Built Sports and check out a canoe they had for sale, sadly they were closed so we went to the London Bridge instead.  While we were playing tourist, we saw a banner for a PaddleFest so we decided to go check it out (since we did not have enough paddling on Saturday), but by the time we found it, it was over so we stayed to check out the RV, Boat and Off Road Show.  It was fun, we dreamed about the cool vacations we could take with a trailer hooked up to the back of the truck and then quickly realized they will probably be forever dreams with the price tag that comes along with the trailers, but it was still fun to dream.  From there we headed home, we took a different way than the way we came, so it was a nice change of scenery, you know dirt, desert and bushes look different when you go a different route.   As we drove home the Sheriff knew we would be passing the Bass Pro Shop and wanted to stop but we were on a timeline, we had to have Mr. Pie to his Mom’s house by 8pm, so we were cutting it really close to eat dinner and get to the Bass Pro Shop.  We found a pizza place near the pro shop, so we scarfed our dinner down, practically eating it as we walked out of the door, ran to the Pro Shop and made it through the entire store in our allotted time of 45 mins.  We were all sad to go, we had so much more to see and I wanted to buy Super Dad a birthday present there, but there was no time to wait in line, so the present had to stay in the store, sorry Super Dad, you would of loved it.  We all agreed that we would go back another day soon and check everything out!  We made it home at 7:45pm, unloaded the truck and went our separate ways.  I missed the 6 pm pick-up for Gracie, so she had to spend the night at camp, so I was up bright and early so I could pick her up before work.  Whew, what a weekend, we had a great time and came home exhausted so I would say it was a “win” for everyone.  Now the anticipation of the wait to see if Newport Beach will call me with good news, it was really nice to be busy all weekend so I did not have time to sit and worry, wonder and over analyze my interview.  Finger’s crossed!  

So sad they are closed!

The London Bridge


We stopped at Lake Havasu Park for the PaddleFest that was already over, doh!

Yep, we are in Arizona, nothing like having a gun hanging in your truck.

This is what I had to deal with; stinky/dirty feet along with 8 year old farts for hours, ahhhhhh!

Bass Pro Shop

The Sheriff wants this for his front porch.

This place was amazing!
