"Got caught behind some slow moving vehicles, huh, Jim?" No, but thanks for asking. We were the Sunday Drivers. Well, to be fair, we didn't hold anyone up. Nothing on our schedule today, so I suggested we get out for some time in the van. No destination, no schedule.
We headed west, then up the Loop 303. Joan suggested Dickey's (BBQ) for lunch. A fine suggestion, and some good BBQ. And, tasty fries - I don't think they had those in the past.
We were close by a Sam's Club and sitting at about half a tank of gas. I stopped to top off; $3.09/gal - a good price for this area. While our mpg isn't what anyone with a car would be happy with, it is generally about twice what we got with the Aspect.
On the way back home, we stopped to see what things were like in the RV park where used to (begrudgingly) stay when we would visit here. This is their "high season," and they were nearly full; which is what you'd expect. What we hadn't seen since we last stayed here: a new large high school going up literally right next door, and new apartment complexes nearby. No doubt those new "neighbors" will have some impact.
We stopped at storage to swap back to the Equinox before going home...
It's been a while - I thoroughly enjoyed just being out in the van... and being a Sunday Driver. ;-)
