My New Favorite Place


Yesterday at the airport I talked to a guy that works for Bass Pro Shops and asked what the open date for the Clarksville store was. To my surprise he said," Six o'clock this evening." Need I describe my happiness and joy? Well, the rest of the family was just as excited as I was. We ended up at BP(Bass Pro) about six thirty and stayed til about eight thirty and would have stayed longer if it hadn't been for sore legs, early mornings, and a very large crowd. There were a whole lot of very excited rednecks there basking in the presence of extremely cool toys that they will never be able to afford. This is not the sporting goods dept. at stuff-mart. This is years and years of target marketing at work. And boy does it work.
It's not completely finished. There's going to be a restaurant, Starbucks, and fish in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall thingie. So still a lot to look forward to.
That's enough for now though, Katie and I have to get ready to go back this morning. I hope she wants to.
Later, Travis
