TRG - Day 2

Day 2 of vacation & it is going to be a busy one! We kind of had a lazy morning & enjoyed sleeping in, late morning coffee & planning our day.

First stop was for a late morning breakfast at an awesome "hole-n-the-wall" kind of place called Billy Gail's Café.

When we arrived people were waiting outside the place so you know it's got to be good! We thought our wait-time would be hours but luckily it was only 15 minutes before we were seated.

Shane & I ordered breakfast & figured we would have Mase eat some of ours. Thank goodness we did because when they brought our food out the portions were enormous!! The pancakes were so big they didn't even fit on the plate & my biscuits/gravy plate was twice the size of the pancakes.....CRAZY! It was a delicious breakfast & we were SO full by the time we left! No lunch for us that is for sure!!

Next stop was to Silver Dollar City. This theme park is an 1880s-themed experience with over 40 rides & attractions, live shows & concerts, food, 60 unique shops & sits atop one of Missouri's deepest caves - Marvel Cave.

We spent the day hitting up all the rides that Mason & our little family could ride but after 4 hours & 97 degree heat we were pretty much done. Mase was getting crabby, Shane was sweating to death & I was about to pass out from the heat.

Unfortunately, we picked thee very hottest week of the summer to go on vacation & go camping. The temps were mid 90's but the heat index was well over 100 degrees. It pretty much sucked to be outside doing anything. So before heading back to the RV we stayed cool by driving around checking out other possible campsites to go to while Mase took a nap.

 

Later we stopped at a buffet place on the strip to eat dinner & then headed back to the RV where we knew it was going to be hotter than heck.

 

During the day while we were gone we turned the air conditioners off in the RV because it seemed silly to run them constantly all day with no one in there so we came home & this was usually the temp inside the RV:

Luckily it only took about 30 minutes for the RV to cool down to a tolerable temp so during that time we would play at the park or go take a walk to the marina. Once the camper cooled off we spent the rest of the evening watching movies & eating popcorn. Anything to not be outside & to stay cool.
