Ahhhh President's Day. It's a venerable holiday, isn't it?

LOL. Just had to get that in. I'm not sure why . . . today was a normal day for us, but I guess we had some sort of holiday spirit . . . I worked this morning, then I guess we kind of observed the holiday by not working this afternoon. We went for another really nice walk. There are so many neat places here in Havasu, that we really enjoy going for walks as much for seeing the neat things as for the exercise.

Today, we walked through London Bridge Beach Park, which goes essentially from the campground (probably 1/2 mile or so away from us), on our way to our new favorite little "treat" place, Kelly's Coffee & Fudge Shop. It's located directly under the London Bridge on the east end. We also visited a shop called Wild Things on the other side of the bridge that's going out of business and having a heck of a sale. There were a few things that we found to be pretty nice, but decided we either didn't NEED them, or we didn't want to spend the money on them, despite the great prices. Our walk was probably three miles or so.

I took some time this afternoon to practice my R/C driving skills, too, getting the boat out on the water a little more today. It's funny how that thing draws attention of some of the other men in the park. I guess all men have a part of them that's still a little boy. And let me tell you, this town is all about the so-called "Big Boys Toys", you know it with just one glance out at the lake on a nice day (SeaDoos, speedboats, party barges, ultralights, etc., and then there's all the off-road vehicles people include in their "camping gear" when they come here). It's pretty unreal, actually. Makes my expensive little hobby look inexpensive, by comparison. Over the last two days, several different men have come to visit me about my R/C boat when they see me out there running the little thing around.

Tonight was wonderful, really. There was a gorgeous sunset, and my sweetie and I sat out on the beach, with a small campfire and a margarita, for a couple of hours. We probably ought to do that more before we leave here in a couple of weeks.

Other than some more work, I'm not really sure what tomorrow holds, exactly. But on Wednesday, we're going to drive to Phoenix for a sports and entertainment career fair. Never know what kind of leads we might come up with there! Not that we're exactly looking for a career that would cause us to relocate here, but it's all about the contacts!
