Joan and Steph felt the need to do Wal-Mart as soon as it opened this morning. They each had an alarm set for 6:30... it was still dark when we left the boat to come into the house. When I asked if I "had to go," I was told: "No. Only if you want to go to breakfast with us at Manuel's afterwards."
Extortion.
I wasn't looking forward to the experience as we drove up to the store... until I saw that there were very few cars in the parking lot. Even in the aisles of Christmas stuff, it wasn't crowded. Steph and Dan stock up on stuff that they'll use next year for their Angel Tree kids, as well as "treasure chest" prizes (they let the kids pick a prize for good behavior and performance). It was worth the early rising... especially for breakfast at Manuel's.
From there, we drove over to the island (South Padre Island), where Steph and Dan met. They had never been in a Tuesday Morning... that killed another hour and a half. So much for saving anything earlier. ;-)
The cold front came in during the night... we had to run heat on the boat. We needed jackets and gloves on our early morning outing. Temps in the 40s! What a change in 24 hours.
