Fri. 8/5… (Santa
Paula , CA ) Mapes
and Wampler got into camp today so we now have all ten rigs for this
outing. Paul & Pauline said they
will be driving in tomorrow from their Simi home to visit with us. They recently sold their rv so it’s nice that
they still want to come visit. Since tonight is the opening ceremony for the Rio Olympic Games, I decided to hold the Board Meeting on
Saturday in order to be able to go to dinner and then be able to watch if they
want. Mike has an outside tv so that is
an option if the weather is nice enough. We didn’t have any plan for dinner
which was set as ‘on your own’. Some
went south to Santa Paula ,
we went north to Ojai with Bill & Merlyn, Ed, and Rick & Janie. The plan
was to go to Carrows but we found they were one of those that have closed. So we went to Ca’Marco Ristorante for
Italian. It was an unknown but turned
out to be one of the best meals we have had on our trip! We will be going back again when in that area. After everyone returned, we did sit out at
Myer’s rig to watch opening ceremonies, or should I say commercials. Jeeze, we know companies want to advertise
but that was ridiculous! I went in early
and taped the rest of it to watch tomorrow.
Sat.
8/6… (Santa Paula , CA )
Got
the rest of the opening ceremonies. I was disappointed in the whole thing but
each country does it different so it was still ok. We had our breakfast
continental style which was very good.
Then
I held my board meeting. Last one as we
leave office after two years as presidents. Fun times! Afterwards the guys
played poker (I finished runner up), and then we got ready for the bbq
tonight. The current and past presidents
always provide and cook burgers and hot dogs at this outing. Gary and I were
the only presidents/past presidents in camp so we got the job. The large bbq up by the clubhouse was in use
by another group so Gary and Jim set up three smaller ones in our area. We enlisted Rick to help man one so we
managed to get everything done so we could eat.
Thanks Rick, Jim, and Gary. The
food was great and the company was even better!
After dinner we said our goodbyes to Paul and Pauline and then set up
the campfire. I cleaned up some of our stuff in preparation to head home
tomorrow and then went in to watch the Olympics.
Sun. 8/7… (Long
Beach , CA ) We got up
unusually early this morning. Rick &
Janie were leaving to go visit Janie’s daughter and grandkids. We had to take
down our canopy but that went fairly quickly.
We left about 9:30 and got home around 12:00pm. It had been a long trip but it was sure
fun. But it is still nice to be home, especially
safe and sound. Jeff has done an
outstanding job on our home. Here are
some more pictures…..
Nice job, son, you make
us so proud! Next up was to take care of
the mail, and unload the motorhome. We
will clean it up really well but that will take a few days as we have drs
appointments and other things to take care of.
Also I need to sit down and write a summation of the trip. Watch for that post in the next few days.
