![]() Ever the eloquent communicator, I finally said enough dumb things and he wandered off. He reminded me that was a pickup line, which I had to laugh at, because of course it was aren’t I the queen of mixed messages. This time, I actually asked him if he came here often, because I really didn’t and was curious since there was almost no one on the pier. I handle this like I did in decades past: Give a fake name, give him my best Resting Bitch Face, tell him I’m married. (We moved chairs when the sun crept over – it burns! IT BURNS!) There was a mix of 90s and contemporary tunes on the loudspeakers but not earsplitting.īoat slips, boaters, boats, beautiful sky, and cool in the shade.įor the first time in ancient history a drunk dude came up to me to chat. We stayed for two and a half hours, just watching the boats, the water, and being amazed at how cool it felt out of the sun. It was like our own personal regatta out there: sailboats, rafts, jet skis, yachts, motorboats, houseboats. You know how it is: expect one thing and get another. We ate most of everything regardless. Turns out we had missed their Sunday brunch we will catch it next time for a special event: adults are $22 per person. The shrimp were okay, but they were marinated in something unidentifiable. The menu in general was straight up pub food, and not a ton to choose from. The fries were great – we asked for extra ranch. Renee had a couple of bottled Coors Light (she just reminded me: “very very cold bottles”) and we ordered loaded fries ($10) that came out in a huge mound, and a pound of peel-and-eat shrimp ($20). This was my tasty virgin Bloody Mary – extra olives, salt, lime, spicy. Renee spotted the pier bar that literally goes out onto the water. We planted ourselves at the far end – shade, breeze, and hardly any people. There was a fine mix of couples, families and plenty of singles. There was air conditioning if we wanted it, but our sad hearts just wanted to look at some water, heat be damned. Sneaky Pete’s is expansive: an air conditioned inside, a covered patio, an uncovered deck with tables, the pool under trees, a grassy area if you wanted to lay out on your blankets or something, then the pier bar. We survived the redonkulous construction off the I-35 exits and there was plenty of lot parking. I think there are gators in this lake, but we weren’t going to wade in and find out. I didn’t know how loud or crowded or busy it might be, we just needed to be somewhere different. I thought of Sneaky Pete’s out on Lake Lewisville off Garden Ridge and 35E. So … we started driving out of mostly frustration and we ended up heading north on 121. But it would be really tough to run a regional North Texas blog if I can never get to any of the places in the area, knowmsayin? We found a list of the coolest places in the U.S. We daydreamed about escaping to somewhere cooler than North Texas to mope. ![]() But when she got back to Denton, she called to tell us her bicycle that we gave her for Christmas had been stolen off the rack at her new apartment complex. Bonus Fun Stuff: Dueling Pianos Is a Good Time for All.Īmanda (daughter) and her boyfriend Nick were here briefly we had a nice time at the Blind Cafe pop-up dinner Thursday, Finding Dory Friday afternoon, getting her hair done then a 6Stones market in Euless on Saturday. This has been a really strange weekend of ups and downs for us. ![]()
