We decided to have an early Christmas with the kids so that Erika and Justin wouldn’t have to fit time with us in on their very busy Christmas Day. Having an early Christmas actually had unexpected advantages. It allowed us to have one-on-one time with them that was not rushed. Nor were Isaac and Mona… Continue reading Palm Springs TT – Dec 2018:
Our 1st Christmas in the RV
Merry Christmas- Palm Desert style!
12-16-18 Early Christmas in Chula Vista
Barry and I decided to spend Christmas in Palm Springs so that we could enjoy the holidays, and not put additional stress on Justin & Erika to squeeze time in with us when they will have a lot of other family who will want time with them. Since Megan was down visiting from Washington, it… Continue reading 12-16-18 Early Christmas in Chula Vista
11-29-18 My birthday week at the beach
We had a reservation for beach front row for Nov 24-Dec 1, but hearing about the wall of sand that they put up for the winter between the front row and the ocean, so we figured it was silly to pay $15 more a night to look at a wall of sand, so we changed… Continue reading 11-29-18 My birthday week at the beach
11-10-18 Oct/Nov Time with Nana & Papa
We have thoroughly enjoyed having Isaac and Mona for various overnighters with us in the motorhome! Oct 2 we got to have Mona for 4 days while Erika and Justin went out of town. She was 8 months old. All went so well other than the one night when she just cried and cried about… Continue reading 11-10-18 Oct/Nov Time with Nana & Papa
10-31-18: Sold my Scott CR1 road bike -Bought Orbea Mtn Bike
I thoroughly enjoyed doing triathlons up in Washington and Oregon, so when we decided to travel full time in our motorhome, I thought I’d be able to participate in triathlons along the way. Nice thought, but realistically I have no one to train with, or feel comfortable running or biking in unknown areas by myself.… Continue reading 10-31-18: Sold my Scott CR1 road bike -Bought Orbea Mtn Bike
9-30-18: Tecate, Mexico day trip
Jo & Don Richardson took us to Tecate for the day. We walked across the border and started off with a little snack of tacos at a little local open air cafe. It was really hot today. Barry and I tasted fried tripe. It wasn’t too bad, but kind of tough. It would need to… Continue reading 9-30-18: Tecate, Mexico day trip
9-14-18: Silver Strand with Isaac for 3 of our 7 nights
It is such a special time when we have just Isaac or Mona for a couple of nights with us in the motorhome. We really bond with them. Sept 11-14 we were at the Silver Strand State Beach where we camp right at the beach! We had so much fun playing in the sand and… Continue reading 9-14-18: Silver Strand with Isaac for 3 of our 7 nights
8-25-18: Pool time + Cornhole = New friends for life
One day at the adult pool at Pio Pico we met our now dear friends, Joanne (Jo) & Don Richardson when Don asked us if we wanted to play some water volleyball. We did, which was just the beginning of lots of laughs and a lasting friendship. Jo and I connected right away. Soon we… Continue reading 8-25-18: Pool time + Cornhole = New friends for life
8-24-18: Pio Pico Thousand Trails allows for extended time with grandkids
We arrived at Pio Pico Thousand Trails, Jamul, Ca which is near Chula Vista and only about 10 miles from Erika & Justin and the grandkids! It is a decent park with a great adult pool. However, 50 amp sites are very limited. Having a lot of extended time with Isaac and Mona is our… Continue reading 8-24-18: Pio Pico Thousand Trails allows for extended time with grandkids
