Christmas in San Diego California

Another Great weekend with the group. This last weekend was a quick one.  My work schedule involved  web programming on a new commerce website so hotspot in hand, I headed out to the RV park early.  Tim usually likes to stay late but I think he was relieved to get there early so we could set up a couple of his home Christmas decorations.  Our intent was to load the shoe and make it a high heel skate but we didnt have time to make a blade 

and I didnt want to sew in all the lights for a two night stay.  Maybe we can do the event next year and plan a little better .  Not long after we got there most of the members showed up.  I was surprised to see Jim From San Diego since it was so close to his home.  but it isnt about the drive there it is all about the company you keep.  I was glad his partner ( he calls him a room mate) Nacho was there with us for most of the fun stuff.

On Saturday morning we were awaken by a voice "Now Dasher, Now Dancer Now Prancer, Where is my Vixon"  Then what to my wondering eyes should appear but 30 straight people in leotards.  OMG , Tim started taking notes for next year, no way, I am not that secure.  The group visit the rv park every year for the event an spend Saturday spreading Christmas Cheer.  They were having too much fun.

Saturday Night we checked out the light displays, went to the RV Resorts annual Chocolate extravaganza event then off to the local Restaurant for a group Dinner.  No pt lick for this crowd we were truly Glamping this time the Restaurant is next to the rv park. 

At the Marina Bar and Restaurant we had a party of 15 or so.  The Girls wanted to foster fellowship and put us all together by totally rearranging the seating at the jont.  Susan and Steffane get right in and get it done I guess when you have 5 teen age boys at home you just take charge and do it.  We had a wonderful meal and the gift exchange was a bunch of fun.  In true spirit of White elephant Susan and Steffane wrapped a ornate urn from their storage.  that was the hit of the barter steal a gift what ever game we played after opening up our gifted treasures.  

The weather was great the night were chilly enough for a camp fire and jackets but the days were warm enough for Tim to wear shorts.  On Sunday Tim and I walked down the bay and I got a good picture of him in the sunset before we took off for home.  On Monday we tried to book for the event in 2014 but there was a sell out in June 2011.  We were however able to book for a weekend later and booked 50 sites for the holiday lights event in 2015.  Steff and Susan volunteered to take on the event as hosts.  That way Tim can focus on the job at hand and decorate the bus.  I hope he starts is blog because it would be fun to see the images he took of all the light displays.   Thats all for now. In two weeks we are in Las Vegas at a event with the NV chapter and  new members.
