Christmas and the week before ! !

We arrived at Corey and Angela's about nine days before Christmas. Winter is here too. Left ice and snow at home but there has been a lot of rain here and cold, cold, cold.  Surprised that it was freezing here several days. Have gotten to spend quality time with Corey and get ready for working the Rose Parade for Fantasy RV Tours but first Christmas....

And then there was dinner ! ! ! Salad course first.... oops, no dinner pics but it was delish !

 

Will be leaving here, tomorrow, the day after Christmas and heading to San Dimas. Need to be there for a 5:30pm meeting.  Better have our running shoes on for the next couple days. Fantasy RV Tours Rose Parade Rally coming up ! ! 

Day Two Heading South

Started out in the pouring rain today, Wednesday, December 14th heading from Sunset Bay to the Eureka Elks in California right off 101. The wind and rain continued for a good five hours.  Forgot about those coastal winds and the winding through the redwoods.  Stopped in Port Orford at the Crazy Norwegian, one of our favorite places for lunch.  Fresh rockfish and chips!!  Yummy ! !  Then on to the Elks in Eureka. This is one of the best clubs we have been to. They have figured out how to get the young crowd in and they still give a free drink if you camp there.  Very nice after a long day of driving, about five hours! Then, they also have a dinner on Wednesdays. Is there ever too much fish??  The dinner tonight was petrale sole. They did a great job with it and I bet 75 people for dinner~~...

Trying to access Facebook most of the day, sometimes I can and sometimes I cannot but what I have finally learned is that there has been about four inches of SNOW at home today and more expected tomorrow...  I think we left just in the nick of time ! !  Guess rain isn't so bad! ! !  LOL

Heading South 2016 Winter

My oh my, we have spent the last four weeks celebrating Thanksgiving, getting the house ready to have someone stay in it off and on while we are gone as well as have two Christmas celebrations, my annual Cookie Exchange, packing to be gone about four months, get started on all the stuff we need to go to Alaska in June and making sure that Gary is doing better after his bike accident. We are tired ! !   Must be time to leave. Sooooooooo, we headed out yesterday morning about 9:30. Had made reservations since we were worried that Sunset Bay State Park would be packed since it is next door to Shore Acres.  Had never been to Shore Acres and had heard for years how wonderful the light show is. For the first time we decided to ignore the GPS and go the "correct" way. Well, an hour later than planned, we arrive at Sunset Bay after having to turn around and practically go the way the GPS said in the first place.  Got to the park in just enough time to set up before dark.  We drove over to the light show.  Very nice.
