We had a great Christmas celebration at the Crayne residence. On Christmas Eve, we saw a performance of A Christmas Carol in Costa Mesa. One of Molly’s friends was in the performance. She had been in the cast for 18 of their 35 performances this season. It was a fantastic show, and might be part of our annual Christmas tradition going forward. Christmas day saw presents from Santa, breakfast from Grandma, and then movies for Ed, Victoria, Diane and Molly. I was in the process of coming down with a cold, and not too interested in the movies, so I stayed home and installed the new hitch on Diane’s car, and setup the new Roku for Ed. Everyone came home for a nice ham dinner. Even Megan and Greg were able to join us for dinner and a final round of gift opening.
The day after Christmas, we moved from our nesting spot at Canyon RV, and out to Jamul, CA, which is east of San Diego, and home to the Pio Pico Thousand Trails Park. We’ve noticed that many of the RV parks are hoping this time of year. Not sure if it’s a normal Christmas/New Years thing, or if the fact they both fall on a weekend is the driving force, but lots of folks are out in their RV’s and campers this year. We were able to find a nice spot, but without sewer hookup. So, we’ll just use the water sparingly, take showers at the park showers, and hopefully not need to dump till we head out on New Years Eve.
Pio Pico is a nice park. Diane and Molly visited the pool yesterday, as well as the cafe, and found both to be great. Cell phone and cellular internet service is pretty much non-existent. I’ve got service devices from Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T, and they’re all the same. I need to look further into getting my antennae stuff setup, and maybe even a cell signal booster for the phones.
