We're here in Amarillo, TX. Happy Birthday Jacob!

 Happy Champagne Saturday LOL. We decided to stay another day in Amarillo, TX before moving on. We'll be on the road tomorrow so Champagne Sunday wouldn't happen LOL. 

Happy Champagne Saturday! 

Brunch here in Amarillo...

We left our beautiful boon docking site Thursday morning in Utah and moved on. Had a great drive through AZ until we arrived late afternoon in Grants, NM. We stayed at an RV Park called Blue Spruce..$31.10 for water and electrical, dump available. We left there and ended up here in Amarillo, TX. 

Leaving our beautiful boondocking spot! 

We are at AOK RV Park. It's a Passport America Park, full hookups for $17.00 a night. No other amenities, but that's why we have the Mansion. We pulled into site 1A unhooked and then tried to hook up to electricity. None..long story short we are now in site 9. Actually better, as there are no close neighbors. 

Yesterday after a late breakfast we headed out to Amarillo. Stopped at 33 Market and got some Texas IPA's for Ken. Then on to old town for some antique shopping. 😊

Nice area, but the best place was Alley Katz. The shop was huge and decent prices. Found this cracked ice folding table for $65.00. Figured we couldn't get it home because we were pretty packed in the back of the truck. Ken figured it out though and now we have a new table 😊 Thinking we will re configure the front porch somehow to make it happen. 😀 He does love me 💙💙

I fell in love! 



After that we headed for The Big Texan Restaurant and had Dinner. Drinks were good and food was even better. Seems to be a tradition when we are in town. A good tradition! 😊

Is that not the cutes cowboy boot you've ever seen!!

I love the decorations!!!




We went back to camp, watched some tv and eventually called it a night. 

This morning I was up at 0307...awaked for along time so after falling back to sleep i was awake at 0730, started coffee and woke Ken at 0815. What!!!??? Yep. We had decided we weren't going anywhere today so why not let him sleep. 

Ken's barbecuing hamburgers tonight just because it's so nice here. 

Tomorrow we move on and plan on being at Bryan's Monday afternoon! We will have to leave Saturday or Sunday to head back home as there are Dr. appointments beginning of December. Hopefully that changes soon. 

Today is grandson Jacob's 22nd birthday and he's in Pensacola with his parents to celebrate. So hard to believe how old these grandchildren are, as I remember the day they were born. Love you Jacob! 

Nephew Jesse and Jacob..when he visited him overseas..




Have a great afternoon! Tomorrow we move on! 😀

  1. When I read your title my first thought was that Jacob better go to The Big Texan for his free birthday meal. Then I read that you did indeed go there but Jacob was in Florida?!? Boy, did he miss out!

  5. LOVE that table. What a find! I love Amarillo too, but discovered I needed to check every electric box BEFORE I even shut the engine off. Can't tell you how many times I had to move to another site.
