Happy New Year 2013

We left the Vinyards RV Park late morning after brunch and headed to San Juan Batista, a good start towards Pismo Beach. We had a reservation at  Betabel RV Park here.

Originally we were going to drive down to Pismo in one day but that was a long day. Also we wanted to go back to Dona  Esther Mexican Restaurant. We ate there last year and thought the meal was really good.  So called a few weeks back to make sure they would open on New Years day and here we are. 

As it turned out the meal wasn’t so good. Debbie’s soup had a small pebble in it which she crunched down on. Fortunately she didn’t damage any teeth but it ruined the meal. The restaurant’s response was a insincere apology.  Although the restaurant had poor reviews in Yelp, we thought it was pretty good until this incident.

Finally Under Way

We started our winter travels south by going north to the Vineyards RV Park in Vacaville to attend a Concord Caravaners New Years outing. 

 

Cal and Betty hosted the outing as they for the past several years. Maybe its getting to be too much for Betty.

Debbie made a couple of salads for one of the evening meals.

We spent a little time organizing in the bedroom closet. Ty took a seat to supervise the operation.

Later he went out exploring the RV park.

Tomorrow, New Years Day, we will be leaving for more southern climes. First stop, San Juan Batista.
