Tim and Sierra: All good things have to come to an end

(T) I know. I know. It has been a while since our last past. I have a couple of great excuses like we didn’t have access to the internet in Havasu, and as soon as we got back we started working. What it boils down to is the fact that we didn’t have the time or ability to make the posts. So here it is, the last post of our vacation. This post will cover the last couple of days we spent in Lake Havasu. So after getting in late on Thursday we headed strait to bed and awoke early the next morning to get the place ready for the Marty, Susie, and Nick’s arrival. While they were on their way we went to Hastings and uploaded the previous two blogs, got the house ready, went shopping for dinner that night, and spent some time down at the London Bridge hanging out with some friends from ASU. Once the Dixons got in around 2pm we spend some time catching up and than made dinner. Dinner consisted of Buffalo, Elk, and beef burgers along with BBQed corn. After dinner we called it an early night and hung out and went to sleep early.

Saturday we woke up to the amazing smell of bacon and eggs cooking in the kitchen. We spent some time hanging around the house and than headed out onto the lake. We hit up a couple of the hot spots on the lake and than headed back to shore. After putting the boat back in the garage Nick, Sierra, and I headed down to Rotary Park to watch some RC car races and to fly our newly purchased kite. After going to the park we headed back to the house and helped clean up the boat while dinner was getting ready. For dinner we had steaks and potatoes. It was a great dinner followed by a fun trip to the island where we met up with Casey and some of her sorority sisters. After hanging out with her for a bit we had the pleasure seeing the red bull skydiving team come in and crash into the lake. It was awesome. They were supposed to skim across the lake but ended up taking a face plant into the lake. Really very funny. After coming back from the island we went into the spa for a bit and then called it a night.

Sunday morning we woke up to another full breakfast with eggs, hash browns, and French toast. After breakfast we started cleaning up the house and headed back to the valley around noon. About half way back to Phoenix we stopped in Wickenburg to go through one of my favorite junk yards. It was great and they had a lot of new stuff that I have never seen before. After exploring the junk yard, we got back in the car and finished our drive. Getting back to Phoenix around 3:30 we ended our trip and started getting back to real life. As sad as it is to say, our trip is now over and we have to face reality. Sierra getting back to her student reaching and me getting back to work. Enjoy the pictures that we have attached to this post and stay posted for new postings soon.
