We left this morning to visit the Fort Collins museum but stopped at the gift shop first. The lady that runs the gift shop was very knowledgeable about Fort Collins and gave us a lot of history of the Fort. John wayne stayed at the Fort in 1959 during the making of the movie The Alamo.
We discovered that the museum would not open until 1:00 so took the walking tour by car (Pat and his woosy feet). we found George Patton's house on the tour. Now back to the RV for lunch and a litle nap for Pat.
off to the museum, there was a lot to view and all in all was very informative. We found that there were a lot of famous people that have stayed here during the years.
Our neighbor, Charles, had told us about the ice cream at the Pico (convenience store) so we decided that some ice cream wood hit the spot. The Pice offers 1 and 2 scoops of Blue Bell ice cream, 1 scoop is $1.29 and 2 scoops is $1.79 so we opted for the 2 scoops (what a deal, right?). Let's just say they measure scoops differently in Brackettville than in Austin. The scoops filled a 10 ounce cup fully with the 2nd scoop heaping on the top by at least 3 inches.
I would guess we each had a pint+ of ice cream with the 2 scoops.
We both ate the whole thing, no dinner for us tonight. Later we visited with our across the street neighbors (the young couple) Thier names are Brandon and Shannon. They left to go get ice cream at the Pico and we went inside to watch TV. It was already 9:00. Time flys when you're retired. See you back here tomorrow. Bye bye
