We slept like logs last night. Had breakfast and took a great walk around the winery. The birds were active and we saw bluebirds. They were so quick I couldn't' get any pictures. We walked back toward the house to the pond area. What a great area. There are adirondack chairs and metal table and chairs all around the pond. There is also a dock and paddle boat at one end. The other end has a dock built out over the water with a bench and table. Such a great setting. I can see why it's a great wedding venue. Steve told us he would be setting up and serving sprizters, sangrias, and selling bottles and glasses of wine by the pond today. We're looking forward to that.  




You can see the cave entrance between the 2 umbrellas.

We needed to find Tina and confirm which HH pad she wanted us in and confirm we can plug in for power. We talked about the wedding and she told us the other 2 HH guests texted her about the wedding around 11:30. They were concerned about the noise of the wedding. We didn't hear a thing. Maybe because we were further from the action. We walked back to the coach and moved it to the pad, leveled, ate something then walked back to the pond. Steve was set up and we bought a glass of wine, sat in the adirondacks and enjoyed the view. Steve brought his new puppy with him today so we got to play with her, Jema is her name. She's a 3 month old australian shepard and so fluffy. 

We decided to have sangria next and Steve added grenadine which made the drink slightly sweet. We both loved ours and sat down to enjoy the deliciousness. We decided to wander over to the cave and see if they had any trinkets we "needed." Nothing to purchase so we sat at a table on the hillside by the cave to finish our drinks. It was close to closing time so we finished our drinks and walked back to the coach. 

We decided to get the frisbee out and spent about 45 minutes throwing while the sun went down. It was so much fun. My arm will probably be a little sore tomorrow. The weather is cooling down so we went inside and got away from the bugs. What a great day. We did absolutely nothing and had a very relaxing day. Nice way to end our trip. 

Nite all!

"A good man does not take what belongs to someone else." (Pueblo Proverb) 1 We stopped to get gas in Tehachapi, and I left my phone in the bathroom. I went back to check, and it was gone... Damn'it!!!! Asked everyone in the place if anyone had turned it in, and of course not. So we told the rest of the group to go ahead and we will catch up. Used the MyFind app to turn it off. Called T-Mobile to suspend my account. I reset important passwords just in case. I felt devastated. We took off and talked about whether to replace it or not. I was not a happy camper.  The drive was harrowing. Over San Bernadino mountains, Bristol mountains (2700 ft.), down through Mojave National Monument, over and down the Sacramento Mountains into Needles. We experienced cross winds most of the drive, which made it hard to drive straight.    I called ahead and found a T-Mobile store in Bullhead City. Once we hooked up, we drove to Bullhead City, passing through California, Arizona, California th

Pacific Coast Village Site #382 JEEPS - 5 (Tuesday), 22 (Thursday) We left home on Monday, June 26th , for Pismo Beach. We are staying at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort for the first time. They have 400 sites. We made the reservations six months ago. We normally stay at Oceano State Beach RV Park, but we wanted to try this place. We are here with Jan & Ken Reynolds. This place does not let you choose a site; they will only tell you your site number the morning you check-in. This is also a place you can join for $50,000, and you get the first pick of sites...ridiculous. You can store your RV at the resort storage across the street. If you are a member, they will bring your RV to your site for you, one perk for the fifty grand. We checked in around 4:30 PM on Monday. The Reynolds are two sites from us and checked in about thirty minutes before us. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. We hooked up and headed to Old Juan's Cantina in Oceanside. We love this place, especially its huge margarit

My Man! Steps today - 14,442 Saturday, and so much for sleeping in. The Reynolds daughter Brook, son-in-law Aaron, granddaughter Kensley, and grandson Arik arrived this morning. Soon we heard Kensley and Arik at our door to say hello. They seemed excited to see us, and they gave big hugs to both of us. Then, they told us about school, and everything they have been doing, as much as an 8 and 10-year-old can say to you. Then back over to abuela and papa's RV.  Soon after, we were off to Pismo Beach. We drove to the left, went as far as we could, then turned around and headed toward the far-end gate. The part of the beach you can drive on was so short compared to before, but it was due to the recent storms. The Reynolds were ahead of us, and as we passed the first gate, a guy flagged us down. His truck was stuck, and he needed a tow to get out of the hole he was in. Barry said sure, and I texted the others to let them know what was happening. They pulled off of the beach highway and w
