Our 3rd Christmas on the road and it was great. We moved our home to San Jose for the Christmas Weekend and had a great time with the girls and friends. Christmas Day was just our family in our Mini Home, complete with plenty of gifts and Santa even stopped by to fill our stockings! And yes you can cook an amazing holiday dinner in the small space! We had Prime Rib (reminder to self! 3 ribs is enough for 5 adults!) I got a 4 rib Prime Rib and we barely ate 1/2 of it! It is awesome for sandwiches after but I could have saved $20 or more!
Christmas Tree 2011
On Monday after Christmas Paul headed back to Calistoga with our home and I headed to Hanford for a visit with my mom & dad and of course my brother and some of his kids. I think they had an awesome Christmas also because there were plenty of treats and leftovers that we didn’t have to cook dinner either night I was there!!!
New Years we spent at the RV Park which seemed quite lonely however there was a great group from Vacaville that invited us to their New Years Eve Potluck and Texas Hold’em Tournament. There were 15 of us all investing $5 where the top 3 took home the prizes. I was out pretty early, in the second round. Paul lasted to the final 5 and as he often does, he got bored and bet to go out! He was the final elimination and the next guy won $10! So we start 2012 $10 short in the gaming budget line item.
The tournament ended about 11:30 and as we find a lot everyone wanted to just go home. Being the party animals we are we decided to head downtown where there were having a giant bonfire. We arrived just before midnight and there was no one around and no fire. A nice big stack of really big lumber but nothing resembling a bonfire. So we enjoyed the noises of downtown and headed back to the Park.
The clock struck 12 and this is where we were! No champagne anywhere:(
HAPPY 2012 TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! MAY WE ALL REAP SOME REWARDS.
