8:23 am - Sunday - February 1st - Phoenix, AZ - 53° F, humidity 19%, cloud cover 0%, wind 2 mph out of the northeast....clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 83° F. On this date in 2024 TLE and I were putting the final touches on our permanent RV site at TWW.....
.....one of our first winter milestones....you can still see snow on the ground from a recent snowstorm.
Saturday was another clear, blue skies kind of day at TWW with a forecast high of 64° F, but we would not see that high as we would be on the road driving south to Phoenix for Charles and Phyllis' wedding a little after 9 am. The last time we drove the main north/south arterial the road was till pretty smooth (comparatively), but after another two weeks have passed it is quite rough again. In spite of that we were still able to reach US-66 in 20 minutes. About 2 hours into our drive we took a break in Prescott, then continued on to Phoenix where we arrived, without incident, just before 1 pm.
Around 4:40 pm we got in their car (the Ford Expedition we used last winter) to head over to Bobby-Q's BBQ & Steakhouse for dinner (a local BBQ/steakhouse place), which is enormous. We ordered their 'Full Hog' platter with enough BBQ to feed more than four people.......the menu says 3-4 people, but we still brought some home.
.....for our appetizer we ordered a plate of their Texas Twinkies (four bacon wrapped, cream cheese and brisket stuffed jalapenos), which were out of this world. The main course included sides of potato salad, string fries and mac & cheese. I ordered a 21 ounce Grand Canyon Amber Ale....a perfect paring for the BBQ! We managed to snag a table in their alfresco dining area. This place is enormous, and has a parking lot commensurate with its size. TLE and I would give them a solid 4 out of 5 stars.....Yelp gives them 4.5 stars on 5,309 reviews. We were home by 6:30 pm with full tummies, and a need for a nap....lol. Beer is like a sedative for me in my 77th time around the sun.
Thanks for stopping by!
