We were up fairly early this morning and headed out to pick up our home. We left Shreveport around 8:00 am after eating breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The trip to our lake property was lengthy but uneventful. The Jeep rides so much better than the one ton but it does not handle the side winds well. We had a lot of side wind but we managed it OK.
We arrived at the lake around 11:00 am and changed over to the truck. We swung by the State Park to see if they had some openings for us to stay there for Christmas. Sure nuff it was deserted so that is where we will live for Christmas. Then on to Dallas where we stopped off at Red Lobster for lunch. We then jumped back on the highway toward Denton and ran into more traffic than you could dream of. It was the SHOPPING traffic. Oh yes they were out in force and then it was mixed with the getting off early for Christmas Holiday traffic...Well you can imagine we just made it to the dealership at 4:00 pm.
We found out upon arrival that our house was not ready? We gave them two weeks to do the work and for some reason it was not complete when we arrived. Two Weeks! What did they do in two weeks??? Needless to say we were both a little upset...but we did wait for an hour and a half and they were complete...
This put us in the worst of the worst traffic by this time. We drove through the traffic from hell but made it OK to the State Park about 8:30. WOW we were exhausted. Now remember 12 hours ago we were sitting in Shreveport! It was nice to be in our own home after being on the road all this time.
We found us a pull through with sewer and hooked up. Then we both relaxed in our recliners...got on line and caught up with the rest of the road travelers out there.
Knowing that tomorrow was going to be a shopping day back in the big city we turned out the lights and soon were...

Good to see you're all settled in for Christmas. Traffic is terrible, we're not going anywhere till middle of January. Have a great time and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I believe we stayed there a couple of days. I hope you enjoy it and have a very Merry Christmas!
Why don't you folks just stay at your spot at the lake? I thought you put in the driveway and had water and sewer. I must have missed a post of what is missing.

Good to see you got your "home" back. Why is it most service centers treat there customers like crap? I don't know what all they had to do but a complete fifth wheel can be built in less then 2 days. Adjust slides and minor work, 2 weeks worth of work, huh, Or as you had 2 weeks and 1 1/2 hours.
Stay Safe
Nice to see you back home and cosy.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your wonderful family.
I like your new blog look. The dark background and white lettering makes it easier for this one eye to look at and read. Photos appear to be a little sharper looking. Telmarabout about your new Jeep Liberty or should I say Sherries.
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.
God Bless You :-)
