We were just about back to 65 when he said he wanted to go to Buc-ees. We blew by 65 and drove the 6 miles to Buc-ees. That's the biggest gas station I've ever seen. I bet the gas pumps stretched for an 8th of a mile. We parked, went in and looked around the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market sized store. There was Buc-ees everything for sale. I got him an Icee and a pulled pork sandwich and he said it was good but not as good as mine. I had a bbq brisket sandwich and it was pretty damn good. He also got a Buc-ee the beaver. I wanted so bad to explain what a beaver is in regards to women is but he's only 12 and not into girls yet so I held back. I did have him saying mother bucker before we got out of there though. Bad Grandpa?

Anyway I have now been to Buc-ees.

It's always fun to take someone to Bucees for their first time.

I used to do this when I drove around just to listen to music and get my mind off things. I call it the "Springfield Loop."

Drove my mom out to Marshfield yesterday, so we drove past it. Still haven't been. I went to one for the first time when we drove to Orange beach last month, though.

Around the horn! It's probably more fun to go the opposite direction then I went yesterday so you can drive around the "fly overs". I didn't go 119 MPH though. That's too fast with a child in the car. As we hit the 70 MPH sign I did gun it up to 88 for a moment. Then at Buc-ees we took the top out and took the back road home.

LOL no. I only drink and drive in my Golf Cart these days. Never had a DUI and don't want one. If need be I can always drive my Golf Cart to Costco and buy a 1/2 gallon or drive over to the golf course/Club and buy a few drinks and cart them home. Get baked on the way back!
