On New Years Eve, we pulled in the lines, slides and awning, and headed from Pio Pico in Jamul, CA, to the Orangeland RV Park in Orange, CA. Orangeland RV boasts a couple of wins for RV Park of the year, and it’s easy to see why. The staff is very friendly, everything is super clean, functional, and appealing. Laundry, bathrooms, pool, store, and even the sites themselves. It’s not cheap, but still very nice. Rates are high, so make sure to take advantage of Good Sam and AAA discounts to get 10% off. Orange and Lemon trees are everywhere, and you’re free to pick from your site, or an empty site. Or, just pick some up in the boxes outside the store.
We went to the Irvine Great Park for a New Years Eve celebration with some friends from Homeschooling activities. The Anderson’s, Jones’s, and De Los Santos’s were there as well. It was a very foggy evening, but the mood was not hampered by it. There was a DJ with dancing and games in one building, and then a live band outside on a stage with the big orange balloon as a backdrop. They had a countdown at 9pm to celebrate with those on the east coast, and for the kids. Fireworks went off, and since it was a ground show, the fog didn’t hurt it at all. Only issue of the night was the long lines for the food trucks, but the ladies took off and got some fast food from Carls Jr to solve that.
We’ll be here at Orangeland till Saturday, then out to Menifee for three weeks with Thousand Trails.
For those that registered for the RSS and e-mail updates, they should start rolling in now. I think we have it all fixed up. 🙂
