Couples Adventure Challenge #6

 

COUPLES ADVENTURE CHALLENGE #6 is Officially In The Books!!

We removed the roof of the Jeep, turned on the heater, and headed an hour northwest to........PILOT POINT, TX.

The Couples Adventure Challenge #6 said,

"Find a small town or area at least 15 miles away that you have never been to or spent much time in."

Checkmark. Neither of us had been there. Yet.

"Go and find a small restaurant there and have dinner (Leave the waiter a big tip!)" it said next.

Our friend, Cindy Fulton, told us about this great restaurant there called BeBo's, so as we were Googling BeBo's, we discovered Pilot Point was also having a major festival this weekend! SCORE!

Turns out, this sweet little town of 4,381 was used for a major Hollywood movie back in the 60's called....wait for it.....Bonnie & Clyde....with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. OH YAAAA....this is a BIG stinkin' deal here....and in small town Texas, this requires a festival!! So, each year in October, they have Bonnie & Clyde Days Festival!! WHOO HOO.....and go figure, we accidentally picked the exact weekend to visit PILOT POINT!

 

"Find a local park, take a walk, and talk about what you assume the town's history is; create a backstory for it and rename the town" the Couples Adventure Challenged us to do.

So while sitting at BeBo's enjoying catfish and burgers and getting to know the entire Bebo's family (including the dog), we decided Pilot Point's name should be changed to BeBo's Point (you saw that coming, didn't ya?). Why you ask? Because when we pulled into the parking lot, we saw a real plane that appeared to have "crash landed" in the ditch next to the BeBo's parking lot. We naturally assumed BeBo must have been the pilot....(get it..."PILOT" POINT??) and he was "Pointing" his plane in the direction of his famous restaurant when he crashed.

 

So, there you have it! We had a FABULOUS day of meeting the people of BeBo's Point, checking out the vendors on the Square, watching a live re-enactment of Bonnie & Clyde, getting a chai latte at the Pilot Point Coffee House and watching Soap Box Challenges racing down Main Street.

It was just like being in Mt. Vernon again and rooting for the turtle races, Petapalooza and vintage car shows! Welcome to Small Town Texas in October!!

 

And before we knew it, Adventure #6 was complete with a minimum of 150 pictures to prove it!! Can hardly wait to uncover #7 and see whats next!!

Ohhh...and just in case you were wondering, we did indeed give our waitress a mighty BIGGGGG tip!!
