One of the Joys of Moving to a New State? Getting Totally LOST and Turned Around!! LOL

I woke up this morning and went to work - only to discover I AM OFF TODAY!!!
***I'd misread my schedule (dumb Sha).

So - I called Michelle on my cell phone and said:
"GREAT NEWS I'M OFF (Better NEWS - I'm AWAKE) What do you want to do today?"

She decided she wanted to take the Dogs to the Park.

So we went home so we could change clothes, grab the dogs - and MOST IMPORTANTLY - Print out instructions to the PARK!!

While we were at home I also did some BILLS (yucky) and took inventory on PET MEDS that I need to buy. I discovered I needed all Flea Medication and Rhiley and Maddy only have one month left of Heartworm Medication.

I told Michelle we needed to stop by the Vet to pick up Flea Meds. I'll get the Heartworm pills with my next paycheck.

So - we grabbed the dogs - unfortunately not all the dogs - just our 4. It's too difficult to walk with all six - so Nick and Goldie stayed home.

We went to the vet office first and all the babies got weighed.

Lily loved being inside and laying on the cold tile floor!! She was looking at me with her big "doe" eyes saying "Let's stay here all day!!"

$231 dollars later (each dog got a 5 months supply of flea medication) we hopped back in the car and were off to the park!

We got off at the exit we needed - and then we were sunk - we drove and we drove and we drove.

And we did not see Barton Springs Rd.

However we did see Zilker Park.

Which wasn't the park we were planning to go to - BUT IT WAS A PARK!!

We stopped the car, unloaded the dogs and hit the trail!! And quickly realized that gravel and rocks are not fun to hike on - where is a DIRT trail when you need one?

We reversed course and hung out near the picnic areas (shade!!!) and near the drink stand and pool area.

We got a lemonade from the stand and got 2 doggie cups of water!!
(It was cool today - but not THAT cool!)

Then we decided it was time to go.

We hopped in the car again - this time with the windows up and the AC blasting!

And quickly realized we didn't know how to get back on the interstate from where we were...

We got LOST near the Capitol, but Michelle eventually realized where we were on Lamar and was able to get us back to the interstate.

It was a FUN adventure and now we are home. The pups are worn-out and happy sleeping in the backyard. I am a little sunburned and am happily sipping on a smoothie Mel and Michelle just made us.

Life is Good.

As Marti would say - you never know what your gonna do when you wake up in the Morning!!!!

P.S. sorry no pictures - we packed the camera, but accidentally left it in the car!!
