RELAXING IN REDDING

Sunday evening we arrived in Redding-and the welcome committee arrived shortly after!
Denise and Pat showed up just as we were beginning our set-up routine,so thankfully w
e could take some time out to have a welcome cocktail! The heat here is something that we are not used to-over 100 and it is after 4pm-eek! they promise(those weather gurus)the temps will be around 80 tomorrow-lets hope they are correct! We have had such lovely weather all summer in Montana-and Idaho and Washington were beautiful-we are, I guess, spoiled. If we can make our way to so. cal slowly-we might miss the incredibly hot weather that Oct. can produce there too! tonight we order pizza and just enjoy visiting-tomorrow Pat is making his famous bbq ribs-looking forward to that! it is good to be off the road for a few days-this is a pretty park, owned by the same people who have the one in Eugene-gotta comment on the potties here-just because they are sooo nice,just like a fine hotel, really! After all that experience dealing with "camp" potties-I guess I just tend to notice more-or at least with a different eye-its wrong, I know-but my fellow "potty hotties" out there know what I mean! The owners designed this place to be what they always wanted when they started travelling in their Rv-and seldom found. They have done a great job in making a really nice park!
Last night we had a wonderful evening with Pat and Denise-Clint and Mindy and Austin and Katy were there too-Mike and Austin played guitar-Pat made the best ribs ever-We met a cousin of Pat's,Rick-and his wife Jana, and son Drew. they have lived here in Redding for quite awhile-yet Pat did not know it. They are a cute family and it was fun to get to meet them.
Today we have just been relaxing at "home"-laundry,walks, and Daddy got a much needed manicure-tonight we will go back to Pat and Denise's for dinner, then on the road tomorrow AM to Arbuckle. I can finally tell Daddy yes, today we go to Arbuckle!
everyday we get up, and the first thing he asks is "are we going to see Mary Lou today?" This has been the conversation since we left Washington Sat. morning. We are all looking forward to getting to Arbuckle-lets hope Arbuckle is ready for us!
the pics are of our park in Eugene-the backseat duo, and a special edition of "working out on the streets of Redding"-it was quite a sight-good thing the zoom was not on the camera lens-eek!!enlarge the pic to full screen-go ahead!
