New Friends and lots of Wine

From Chris:  After leaving Bosie we headed into Washington.  We had a beautiful drive.  After spending 14 years in Corpus Christi, Texas it is nice seeing mountains, rivers, forests and lush farm land.  We landed in a town named Prosser.  Alex had reseached our path and our campground.  He did a very good job. 
No sooner had we parked the coach, then Chris went looking for answers to the normal RVer questions...  "Where do you go for good food" and "What is there to do in this area".  Well, there were 4 people sitting outside their two rigs and they seemed to be having a very good time.  Chris went right up to them and started asking questions.  Well, she didn't get very far as the 2 couples took Alex and Chris under their wings and we ended up having a wonderful 4 day visit.  Mike and Cheryle are from the Seattle area.  Kelly and Rocket are from Whistler, British Columbia.  What a riot the 4 of them are.  They have been friends for quite awhile. 
Right down the street, walking distance, is a wine tasting development with about 15 tasting rooms.  We tried as many as we could and we ended up with a nicely stocked wine supply.  We only bought about 10 bottles because we just don't have a lot of room in the coach for anymore.
The rest of the time there was spent doing two happy hours, one brunch and one very fun walk around the town and buying assorted items at the local farmers market on Saturday morning.
The 4 of them are planning on coming to Anacortes Washington, our next stop for 5 weeks, to meet us on 4th of July weekend.  That should be fun.
We are headed to Anacortes to visit Whidbey Island.  Whidbey is where we were stationed for 10 months and where Bill Torrance was born.  It is a wonderful place that Chris has dreamed of going back to ever since she left 3 weeks after Bill was born.
Below are some pics of our visit to Prosser.   The one above is Alex with his first wine purchase.
