Were home again

After 2,100 miles on the car and a couple of weeks condo camping we were ready to come home.  Our sons wedding went as planned, except for the ring bearer needing some help to close a gash in the head and missing the wedding.  And there was no trouble with the car. 
But the "owner education" at the condo in Lake Tahoe was more than upsetting.  We have only been a Worldmark owner for 19 years and they really wanted us to update our ownership by giving them more money.  Fat chance that will happen.
But we really enjoy our RV's when we stay closer to home.  And the condos we use are really top notch when going farther away.

Lake Tahoe

Today is our last day around the lake.  We did some rock collecting and visited a few boutiques in nearby towns.  So the car is now weighted down incase we get snow tonight.   The road crew was spraying stuff on the main road above 7,000 feet so there is a chance of something tonight. 

Sunset on the lake. 

Pictures from Yosemite Park

Here are some of the pictures I took on our trip there for our sons wedding in September 2013.

This is half dome from the North.. We took the Tioga Road from the Village to the East gate of the Park.

We now have a DIL (daughter in law)

The wedding went off without a hitch.  Except for the ring bearer.  He ran into a wall and cut his forehead just before the big event.  Then got to visit the local medical center.  He is only 2 so his dad who is a policeman and him missed the wedding. 

Pictures to follow. 

The bride getting ready ready to go.  Sorry but this is the only picture I got on my phone of the bride. 

My wife and daughter. 

My wife and I with my daughter and her husband.  

The mothers of the bride and groom. 

Modesto to Fresno.

The worst part of the trip was driving from Sacramento to Stockton.  Everywhere was under construction.  Hwy 99 is the main road and zipping along bumper to bumper with a 18 wheeler next to a very tall barricade is not my idea of fun. Lets hope we don't go back that way again. 

And this butterfly was attracted to my wife's swim suit.  This was the first time she ask me to take a picture of her chest. 

Modesto CA

Today was a great day. My wife's birthday and I got her a present.  Well a couple of them really.  And here at a super 8 they have a nice pool to relax around until we head to FAT tomorrow and pick up our daughter and SIL. 

Our room is on the left side of the picture.  And I was to lazy to move the chair out of the picture. 

Eagles Aerie in Medford OR

Today I stopped by the Eagles in Medford to see the RV spots.  They look good to me.  5 places with elect and water for $10.00.  I took a picture  but it is on my iPhone and I will have to load it up later.  Close to the shopping center and although I didn't  go into the Aerie it looked busy for lunch.  And this morning= when we were loading up the car at home I was almost ready to take Smokey on this trip.. In the car we have NO closet, NO fridge, NO room.  We will see how this goes when we pick up our Daughter and SIL at the Fresno airport Wednesday.

New tires are on

All set to hit the road when we have time.  

How cool are shiny new tires. 

Les Schwab installed Double Coin tires. 

Is it Christmas yet?

You know you are getting old when you walk into the store and see holiday stuff and wonder what month this is.   But Christmas in the first week in September?    Yea fred Meyer has Christmas lights on the shelf today.  And is this an ad on the TV from Kmart for Christmas?

So yesterday I put new brake pads on the front of put new Camry, well it was new when we bought it in 2005 115,000 miles ago. 

I'm tired of tires

If you only knew how much time I have put into looking at tires for Smokey you might think I'm nuts.  OK you probably know that I like a good deal DUH so tires should be the same decision.   I looked and looked.   Talked and talked.  And decided if you have a cheap RV you can have cheap tires.  So I am getting a new set of Double Coin tires.   And getting them at my own place,  Les's place.  That's Les Schwab.  So if you try to find a really great tire plenty of people will help you with the best tire is XXX and then the next guy hates them.  So if I get bad tires I will let you know.  

And we picked some apples today.  Man is there a great crop this year.  All of them so you can just walk up and pick without a ladder. 

Labor Day at the Coast

What could be better than this. And my Dish satellite worked great. We had a a concert at the chinook winds casino Saturday night and took advantage of the Boomer breakfast before leaving town on Tuesday morning. 

Camping with friends

As a sort of last minute outing a group of us decided to meet up in Lincoln city OR for the Labor Day Weekend. 

And last night most of us saw the Fab Four at the Chinook Winds Casino.  Watching great music with friends.  It doesn't get any better than that does it?
