Tuesday January 28, 2014, Carlsbad, CA

A lazy morning with an overcast hiding the ocean.  We had our coffee and computer time.

Kevin Mallory called and told me he was on the way to Las Vegas from Quartzsite.  He is working at an ACC Rally at the Las Vegas RV Resort on Arville, a Super Bowl party.  We will be in Las Vegas on Monday the third and he will fix some of the problems we had last year, I hope he fixes them all.  We ordered parts to replace the Navion 5000, the backup camera, entertainment, information system in the dash.  The leveling and charging systems have to be checked before ordering parts for those. 

I again combined my morning walk with the afternoon one.  There was a cache listed along the way I was walking.  I walked past it to complete my morning steps and walked back to find the cache as part of my afternoon steps.  I walked a little over two miles. Gerri and Neva stayed at the timeshare relaxing with the view, computers and Kindles.

We all got ready for our visit with cousins Bill and Arlene in Dana Point.  We left for Dana Point at a little after two.  It is only about a half an hour drive so we got to their house in plenty of time for visiting before going to dinner.  Bill and Arlene have a beautiful home overlooking the Dana Point Harbor with the ocean beyond.  We had visited with them at Lake City, FL in November, but it seems there are always family activities to catch up on.  By the time it was time to go to dinner the sun was setting.  I said their house overlooks the harbor and ocean.  You would think that was west, wrong.  The way the coast turns here their view is actually south.  It takes a little adjustment to realize that the sun isn't really setting in the north.

Cousins

We drove to Sonny’s Pizza and Pasta in San Clemente.  This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area and we try to go there every time we visit.  As usual we had a great dinner and more visiting.  The food is good and plentiful so we took leftovers home.

Since San Clemente is between Dana Point and Carlsbad, we had driven to the restaurant in two cars.  We said our goodbyes in the parking lot and went our different ways.

We got back to the timeshare before eight.  We had one domino game which Gerri won.  That makes her winner of two out of three games.  It was too late for my evening walk so I settle for reading the newspaper that the resort delivers to our door.   We wound up the evening with computer time and reading with a little TV thrown in at the end.
