We got great news yesterday. Our son and daughter in law,
are heading back to Nevada via Tennessee and Wisconsin. Yes, I know what you
are thinking, he must have failed land navigation … Tennessee and Wisconsin are
not on a direct path to Nevada, but then Matt & Bina have never been
boring!
We had a relaxing morning at Reelfoot Lake. We watched the squirrel that came right up to us, as soon as we got the chairs out ... they must remember how much we feed them yesterday ... LOL
Billy & Pattye spent more time with their nephew and his family. They were camped across from us for the weekend, by chance!
We watched people pack up and pull out ... we saw a camper that had one side painted like an American flag. Then we saw this triple pull, look closely you can see the end of the truck, the travel trailer and the cargo trailer with the golf cart behind the trailer. That is illegal in many states ... but I guess not here!
We had lunch plans at the Boat House for after church and
Matt and Bina should be able to make it! Before it was The BoatHouse restaurant, this location was
known as The Pier restaurant and it was most recently operated as Baja Fresh
Mex Grill. The dining room area features Reelfoot Lake decor, while
diners can enjoy spectacular views of the lake through the back windows of the
restaurant. The restaurant’s main menu features catfish fillet plates, country
ham, chicken tenderloin, grilled chicken breast, ribeye and flat iron steaks
and a side order menu that includes French fries, onion rings, white and green
beans, cole slaw, hushpuppies, baked potatoes and sweet potatoes and grilled
vegetables.
The restaurant is within walking distance of most of
Samburg’s lakeshore resorts and next to Spicer Park.
There was 10 of us enjoying our last meal out in
Tennessee. We went to the Boat House for our first meal at Reelfoot Lake with 10
of us too, Wayne & Karen, Billy & Pattye, Carl & Edna, James &
Debbie and Charlie & I. It was a great way to start off our mini-vacation
in Reelfoot Lake. We sat in the lake-side room that is all glass so every table
has a view to the west over the lake. We were served rolls and strawberry
butter while we waited for our meal. I can’t believe that in the Strawberry
Capital of the world, Plant City, we have never been served Strawberry butter!
Their Sunday meals are a bit different. You can still order
off the menu, or you can select an entrée and 3 sides, plus dessert from their special
board. Some ordered off the menu, other choose the specials. No matter what you
ate, the food was excellent and the company was even better!
We spent the afternoon relaxing and visiting with our kids
and friends. It was awesome to sit and visit with Matt & Bina, it has been way too long. I am glad retirement might be bringing them closer to us! The Army has kept them too far away for too long!
We waited patiently for our last sunset and Matt & Bina’s
first on Reelfoot Lake.
It was a beautiful sunset.
After the sun had set, we took Matt & Bina to DQ. Since
that is all we heard Pattye & Edna talk about. Edna went earlier in the day
with her Granddaughter. Pattye has a weigh-in on Monday, so she did not go … it
was just the 4 of us. The Blizzard was just as good as Miss Pattye says!
Tomorrow morning, Matt & Bina hit the road for Wisconsin
and we hit the road for Missouri. Good night Reelfoot Lake!
