Back Home
13 years ago
Just letting you all know that I'm back home and everything's fine. Turns out the worst of the storms went mostly north of us (even though we had a close call while we were packing to leave). We stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Gainesville, Texas between Dallas and the Oklahoma border. We booked 2 rooms; one for me & my older nephew, and the other for my mom, sister, niece, and younger nephew. We left roughly around 5 PM and got to the hotel just before 10 PM. The hotel was nice and we had dinner on Saturday at a Cracker Barrel next door where I had what I believe was the most incredible blackberry cobbler I've ever tasted. While there I also got a souvenir; a toy flintlock pistol. Also turns out that there was a special event honoring Medal of Honor recipients (the actual award, not the video game) being held in Gainesville and there were several recipients staying in the hotel with us, quite an honor to get to see so many heroes in one place. There were some storms late Saturday night, but nothing worse than a few thunderstorms. We started back home around 11 AM Sunday and got back into town around 1 PM and thankfully found everything just as we left it.

Good to hear you had some fun out there. Aside from Norman and Woodward, just another weekend round here.
