Day 13 through 16 – 09/27/2018 – 09/30/2018
Today we drove on to McKinney Texas where mom, Julie, Rachel and her family all live.
We were originally scheduled to stay at Days Inn the entire time in McKinney. The first night was fine although the whole hotel just seemed pretty tacky. The second night we were up most the night until around 2:30am due to a big party right outside our room near the pool. We called management and they kept making excuses and wouldn’t put a stop to it. Finally Debby called the police. At that point the manager came to our room and knocked to make sure everyone at the party knew exactly who turned them in. It was the worst experience ever and I highly recommend never considering staying there. We have stayed at Days Inn’s in other cities and it was fine but this one was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The next day we canceled the last 2 nights and requested a refund for the previous night since we didn’t get any sleep. We called and made reservations at La Quinta and moved. The difference was night and day. La Quinta was so much nicer. The room was really comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. I highly recommend this La Quinta.
Didn’t get many pictures while here. We were busy running around with my sister, Julie, and my mom.
The first day we went to a lake and walked partially around it with the dogs. We were going to go to the dog park but it was closed due to recent flooding. Then we went to dinner that evening to a dog friendly Mexican place named Fuzzy’s Tacos. I took a macro picture of this flower LOL
The next day we met Rachel and Josh and their kids at the Octoborfest in old town McKinney. It was fun although Guen drove me nuts constantly trying to attack every dog in sight. There was a Lemur there that was pretty cool.
The last day we met Rachel, Josh and their kids all at a park in McKinney. Drizzt, Guen and Dakota drove themselves crazy trying to get to all the squirrels.
The only other picture I got was of this flower bud at Julie’s apartment.
We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed seeing everyone in McKinney.
