Arlington - Almost Home
We arrived in Arlington yesterday afternoon in time for some lunch at Bennigan's, a pedicure for Tippy, and a run to Petsmart for Stu and Alex. We drove over to David's in the early evening, fighting traffic, to see everyone. The whole family has been ill to one degree or another but we all enjoyed the visit and were amazed at how much the grand kids had grown in the past four months.
Before we left the St. Louis area we were able to spend some time with John, Christine, and Florence on Monday evening. We hung out for a while at the house and ordered pizza for dinner after Florence went to bed. We enjoyed watching John give Florence a bath before bed. He is really a great dad! We also had lunch on Monday with our good friends Bart & Dee Collida. Bart is a former Committeeman on the APL Committee. Like me he is now retired but he enjoys his grandson's success at golf. Sunday afternoon we also spent time with John's family before they went to a friends home for the evening. We all drove down to the "Loop" to Ben & Jerry's for icecream before heading for home.
Our drive from St. Louis to Arlington went without a hitch. The first day we stopped at a KOA in Joplin, MO and then on Wednesday we drove to Sulphur, OK. The final leg, of only 148 miles to Arlington, was uneventful other than a stop at the Camping World in Denton, just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I picked up a couple of quick connects for hoses while Tippy walked Alex and then we completed the trip into Arlington. The traffic here seems heavier than in Streetman but I may be mistaken.
We will go over to David's again this evening with a possible trip to Chucky Cheese for an outing with the kids. Apparently Cole really enjoys the activities and the excitement of the place. We also discussed some possible activities for Saturday which will get us out with the kids and allow us to see some of the local sights. On Sunday we will head for home after Tippy goes to Mass. We both miss being home and we heard yesterday that the deck has been stained and looks great which makes us even more anxious to want to get home. I will post again on Sunday morning with pictures from Friday and Saturday. Enjoy a few pictures from St. Louis and a few from here as well. Be safe.
