Getting out of Town

Got the itch to take the trailer out midweek on Oct. 10th. Apparently, it was a wise choice because the temperatures soared that week. We had wanted to head further south but couldn't get in to the beach sites in South County, so we ended up at our stand-by beach campground - San Clemente State Beach.
I had received a hammock as a birthday gift, which was the first thing we set up after the trailer, of course. The hammock was soon occupied by some "homeless man".

Don't let this pic fool you tho - Steve's idea of fun always includes some kind of exercise: a walk, a hike, a bike ride. Me, I'm happy just plopping down in a beach chair. We had the whole beach to ourselves.

Evening sunsets were memorable.

Nature Encounter

and a stroll to the pier.
Came home and the heat wave was over. We started preparing for our DC/NYC trip and got out of town just in time to beat the next heat wave.

Adults Only Week-End 2017

Couple quick outings before our Visit with the Girls back East ...

The week-end of Sept. 21 we headed out to the river with our former co-workers at Disneyland from oh, maybe 40 years ago. How great is that to have friends hanging around so long?!
Two couples share a house along the river and have all the toys that go along with that lifestyle. We were able to ride Sea-dos, float on giant rafts and take a boat ride up to the river bar that provides boat parking right outside the bar. We had an entertaining afternoon taking the boat out to the sandbar and watching the guys attempt stand-up paddle board. Lost a hat and sunglasses in the process.
Bar B Q in the evening along with corn-hole and card games. I need a refresher on the new version of Golf that was called Baseball by this bunch. Lots of fun, food and fraternity!

 

This is the life!

 Windom had to sleep on the porch because he snores so loudly. Here is his alarm clock coming by to wake him up.

 Luke kept getting all the jokers; he will deny it, tho.

 What we mostly did....
