We took the truck to the beach today! It was so much fun to be in the truck-for Bill it is a long standing dream come true. He even had to slip it into 4 x 4 mode when we hit a section of unpacked sand-flip of the wrist and it powered right through the powder! It was nice.
We also did some fishing at a new 'park' a fellow fisherman told us about-Bill lost a lot of bait but didn't catch a fish. We learned a lot and had a lot of laughs.
We got a cloud burst when it was lunch time so we sat in the truck and watched the waves and let the rain fall all around........it was very calming-no storm, just the rain. It let up in 15 minutes and we took a long walk. Another couple who were fishing told us to check out the beach where the old Marineland used to be so we took a drive when we had finished our walk-it is only a 7 minute drive from our beach (Crescent Beach) and we had fun exploring there, too; hardly any people which is just the way we like it. The beach is very different there, the beach is not a gentle slope into the water-the waves were much more dramatic and there is quite a few large rock jetties every 150' which we had never seen in our area before. I had left my camera behind on this walk so you will just have to imagine the beach-we will be going there again soon so I will picture it then for you.
We stopped in town on the way home and had the tires rotated-Bill didn't think anyone had done that yet and there was a bit of uneven wear on the tires. The ride was much smoother on the way home and we got 19.6 mpg on our trip-nice bonus.
What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the look on Dad's face -- little boys, little toys; big boys, big toys!!!
Looks like Mr. M is being quite a show off in his boat. His big truck gets better mileage than my mini van!
