October 2nd. It was a beautiful day. We were originally planning on spending the night in an old hotel in downtown Granbury then enjoying our day at the VolksCruzers VW show in Glen Rose. The economy being what it is, and our finances being what they are, we decided to just drive to the Vdub show for the day. We originally intended on just parking nearby, enjoy the cars and then head home. As we pulled up to the town square, we drove up to some barricades, at which point this man swung the barricade open and eagerly waved us in. Guess what honey? We are part of the show. We were guided into our parking space and a friendly club member who then told us we could register at the blue tent for five dollars. Good thing I cleaned the bus up before we left home.

So we popped the top, opened the doors, made sure Sock Monkey Joe had a great place to enjoy the view, then we went to register. We wandered around and saw lots of cool buses.We also saw lots of other fun cars. Including one from my wonderful wife’s home state.

We finished off our day by going to the Glen Rose State Park. There is a riverbed that has preserved dinosaur tracks (yeah I know! Cool huh?!) There are even more tracks exposed due to the recent drought and the river being almost dry. Don’t ask me how they were preserved in the mud millions of years ago, but they are there set in stone.

We then rounded out our day at The Green Pickle where we had delicious cheese burgers and fried pickles..( It’s a Texas thing). We had a wonderful day. I love spending time with my wife. She loves VWs and indulges me in my passion for them.  Cheers darling!!
