Everett

Our nephew, Andrew and his wife, Melissa, had a baby boy while we were in the Phoenix area.  Everett came about 5 weeks early.  He had to stay in the hospital for two weeks, but he was fine.  He just needed to gain some weight. 

Here's some pictures of this beautiful little guy.  We love you Everett.

Balboa Park in San Diego

Chris went off for adventure one day in San Diego leaving Alex and Pilot home in peace.  She walked around the beautiful area and went to a few museums.  You have to go if ever in San Diego.  The Zoo is there and one of the best in the country.

Here's a few pics that Chris took.

Pictures from Coronado

While we were in Coronado we stayed at a military RV campground.  They did not have any hookups, but did have a nice shower, fresh water access and other important things to campers. 

Here's some pictures.  First one is of Alex next to our coach, the rest are of the view out our front window of San Diego Bay.  Pretty nice!!!  Pilot had about a mile of beach all to himself.   The weather was great and we loved this spot.  We did walk thru much of Coronado and brushed elbows with the wealthy and beautiful.

We did get to spend an evening with friends from our squadron days, Jim and Vera Baker.  We had a great dinner at an Irish Pub.  Jim and Vera are a lot of fun and we really appreciate them driving down to see us.  We just wish we had gotten a pic of them.

Updates soon, but until then, something to think about......

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

San Diego, CA

We've spent the last week or so in Temecula, CA at an Escapee Park, Jojoba Hills.  http://www.jojobahills.com/tour.htm

It's a nice park in the foothills above Temecula.  We enjoyed walking around Old Town Temecula and going to lunch with another couple in the park.  We took walks around the park which is pretty hilly so you can get a good workout. 

We did not do a lot of touring or hiking.  Honestly, we just did a lot of mundane things that you don't want to hear about.  Sometimes you just do the same things you do at a regular home.  Nothing much.

Today we drove about 85 miles to San Diego, over the Coronado bridge, which Chris almost had a heart attact as you have to stay in the right lane and there is not much between you and a lllllooooonnnnnggggg fall into San Diego Bay.    Anyway we are staying at Fiddler's Cove RV Park.  Another military park.  It's on the strand after you drive through Coronado.  http://www.mwrtoday.com/Sandiego/lodging.htm     We've been to Coronado a few times at North Island Naval Air Station.  It's a beautiful area and to be able to afford to stay on the island is a real benefit for military people. 

The park has no hookups so we are boondocking.  There is a place to get fresh water and a dump.  We are parked right on the bay overlooking the skyline of San Diego out our front window.  Pilot loves walking on the beach and does not mind the helicopters flying overhead.  It's a good place to be. 

We'll get some pictures and post them soon. 

July, 2010 Glacier Nat'l Park

Just testing out our ability to put a video on the blog.  This is just a short one at Glacier.  As you will see it was beautiful day.
