July 17, 2013, Oceanside, CA

The sun was already out this morning when I got up and fixed the coffee.  We stayed around the RV park or in the coach most of the morning.  We caught up on Facebook and e-mail.

At 12 we went up to the harbor to meet meet our friends from Scottsdale, Tim and Beth Burton.  We had fish and chips at the Harbor Fish and Chips.  We met Tim and Beth on our cruise to Australia two years ago this November. and have seen them a few times since.  They used our timeshare at the Carlsbad in last week but we never got to see them.  This week they are staying at the Wyndham near the Oceanside Pier.  The restaurant was busy, the food good and plentiful.  We had a nice visit until they dropped a bombshell.  They had to cancel their cruise in October.  They would have been in the stateroom next to us on the trip from Venice to Ft. Lauderdale.  We will miss them.

We went back to the park and puttered around until time to meet Hollis, Gerri's brother.  Hollis and his granddaughters, Savanna and "JJ" are staying at the Wyndham for a couple of days.  We met Hollis and Malcolm, a friend of his from San Diego, at Anita's Mexican Restaurant on the Coast Hwy.  The girls had stayed at the Wyndham and had pizza.  After dinner Hollis picked them up and we met at a nearby Dairy Queen for dessert.

Back at the RV park, Gerri got on the computer.  I took a walk down to the beach.  Instead of walking back the same way, I circled the park and walked south to a railroad crossing and back along the Coast Hwy. to the RV park.  I walked quite a way, but still never made my goal of 10,000 steps

Gerri called it a night at about a quarter till 10 and I watched TV until eleven.

Another good day with friends and family.  Too much good food, we have to diet later.
