Our last week in Paradise.......for now!















I don't quite know how to describe the past week except to say that I am a very lucky person to have such great friends. It was a really fun week. We started out by going to the San Diego Zoo and stopped at Old Town San Diego for ice cream on the way home. It was a long day, but we covered a lot of ground and had a good time looking at the animals on display. Glen took Danny and another friend on an overnight all day fishing expedition around Catalina Island. They left on Thursday morning, fished over to the island, got a room at a hotel on the island, had dinner, spent the night and fished all the way back the next day. Christy and I had dinner at a place, A Restaurant, that she had never been. We had a blast! The lunch was kinda fancy, in the dark and we sat by a fireplace. We had French Dips and Wedge salad and most everything was served in silver! I did a lot of driving back and forth and I only missed a couple of exits on my way back and forth to the beach! When the guys got back Friday night, we had fish for supper and it was excellent! At least they brought home enough to feed us! I am going to miss sitting in Christy's living room and watching the dolphins play, the yachts go in and out of Newport Beach Harbor and the eclectic mix of folks walking past on the sidewalk below. I'm gonna miss her Aussie pup Brodie. He will fetch balls and play nonstop! I'm gonna miss zipping around in the Hooptie Car - her Scion....but most of all, I'm gonna miss them!!! Thanks Glen and Christy, you are the best!!! Friday morning was May Day and about 5:30 a.m. I got a call from our Son In Law and we are the proud Grandparents of Twins! A little boy and A little girl. They were taken prematurely as a precaution from complications, so they are a little small and will remain in the hospital for a while, but we're excited and after we finish our business at Grants Pass, we will turn the nose to the east and head for Nebraska. They came out to the park yesterday and helped us change the gas springs on the engine compartment door. We couldn't have done it by ourselves! We really had a great two weeks and I'll never forget this trip. We spent most of the day scrubbing and cleaning on the coach, getting ready to leave. Today, we got on the road about 9:30 and made it up to Santa Nella California, On Interstate 5 just south and east of San Jose....we're still a long way from Grants Pass Oregon, but headed North. Onward and Upward is the phrase of the week!!!
