Saturday (160/365)

Today we met James at the Visitor’s Center so I could obtain my base pass.  The fingerprint scanner wouldn’t register my print.  I joked that thank god the carbolic acid worked on erasing my fingerprints.  Luckily, the guy behind the desk had a sense of humor.  I received my pass anyway. 

James had a soccer game in the morning – so we sat and watched his team play another company.  We won, 4-0.20180608_IMG_0610

Then we drove to where we were staying (my sister’s in-laws) so James could shower before we went to eat. 

We ate at the Magnolia Pancake Haus. O. My God.  I was sooo full after eating there.  I didn’t really get hungry again until about 8 in the evening.

Then we went to the Outlet Mall.  I know, an outlet mall.  But hey, that’s where my boy wanted to go.  So that’s where we went.

On the way back, James was hungry (go figure), he wanted to eat a burger at CenterPoint Station.  I had an ice tea and some fries.  I was still stuffed from breakfast.

Then we stopped at Buc-ee’s.
The mother of all gas stations.

Hello Buc-ee.
 
68,000 square feet.  60 gas pumps. 18 acres.

It was just a wee bit big.

Finally, we headed back to the house to hang out.  We explored a bit around the property.  James climbed a tree.

Papa D----- has an old Dodge Truck parked on his land.  It looks pretty cool.

Grandma J----‘s back porch looks like something out of a gardening magazine.

And there were big bugs.

James wanted me to watch a movie he had seen, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” – It was good.

I left with James about 10:15pm to get him back for his late bed check at 11.  It was a full day.
