We will be traveling this summer from April - June. Then we will return to Apache Junction to build a new home on our RV lot in Superstition Mountain Resort (SMR). We have loved living in this women's community and have decided to build a new home here. <br />
<br />
I have started a new blog to represent our new lives.<br />

And I mean it was large hail.<br />
<br />
So we just continued our wine tasting.......<br />

So with all of our traveling, we schedule a stop in a city near an airport.<br />
<br />
After leaving Napa, we headed to Morgan Hill which is just south of San Jose. <br />
Barb spent 5 days with her mom playing bingo , taking walks and just chatting.<br />

We stopped at every beach along the 20 miles section that we drove. I think there was a beach every 5 miles and at some exits there were two separate beach fronts.<br />
<br />

And there to our surprise were sea otters just frolicking in the water. <br />

We left Newport at the end of September and traveled down to the coast into California. We stopped for several days in Napa Valley. Each day we went to 3-4 wineries for the views and tastings. It was amazing to us how beautiful as well as how ornate many of the wineries were. <br />
<br />
Below are just a sampling of the vineyards we visited.<br />

On several different days we walked along the beach and viewed the Yaquina Lighthouse.<br />

Newport is one of the largest commercial fishing communities along the coast. The fishing boats come in daily with their catch and sell to restaurants as well as to the public. We only wish we had a large enough freezer to purchase a whole Albacore Tuna. We went to the bay front at least 3 times a week to purchase tuna loins and grill them for dinner. Our favorite meal !!!Barb, Linda and Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067067985774239422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31142445.post-44090177993378272572012-09-12T09:01:00.000-07:002012-10-25T12:29:30.008-07:00Sept 12: A Drive along the Oregon CoastWe think the Oregon coast is one of the most exciting and beautiful sites to see in this country. And we are very impressed with the way the state of Oregon as planned so many state parks and overlook sites to view the coastline. On one of our many drives along the coast, the waves were high and exciting.<br />
<br />
These photos are from Devils Churn and Neptune Beach. We spent an hour or more just sitting on the rocks at the base of Devils Churn, watching the waves and feeling the spray. A glorious experience.<br />

We purchased this site about 2 years ago and this will be our second year spending the summer here. </a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-InohgADoG1Q/UIcDeCfS2MI/AAAAAAAAEJA/f1jubrvz1rg/s1600/_bl_LB00063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-InohgADoG1Q/UIcDeCfS2MI/AAAAAAAAEJA/f1jubrvz1rg/s320/_bl_LB00063.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

The resort is right on the coast with beach access. Our site has a view of the Pacific Ocean in addition to having the common area with grass and trees right in front of us. So Bailey absolutely loves running in the grass and we love all of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We spent time this year working on the landscaping that is on our site. This year's project was to remove all of the rocks, lay a second layer of black weed protection, and then replace the rocks. <br />
<br />
After all of that we were exhausted so David who works on our landscaping when we are not here, helped us move more rocks to that we could add them to areas that had none.<br />

We headed north to Oregon. Our route included stopping at as many casinos as we could. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VtRf3gaF7xM/UImnDjp5-wI/AAAAAAAAEQY/VWkH613cXJc/s1600/Casino+Cards+Hwy+99.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VtRf3gaF7xM/UImnDjp5-wI/AAAAAAAAEQY/VWkH613cXJc/s320/Casino+Cards+Hwy+99.JPG" width="320" /></a>We headed up Hwy 99 and stopped at about 5 casinos along the way. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also stopped in the Fresno area to visit with Marilyn and Don. Unfortunately we did not take any photos of them.</div>
<br />
After all of the casinos with Barb getting her fill of poker playing, it was time for Linda to have a day with nature. So we headed to Crater Lake in Oregon. We had never been there, but had heard from so many people how beautiful it was and how blue the water was. <br />

We left the motorhome in SMR in the 110+ tempertures and drove by car to San Antonio. <br />

Zachary was absolutely marvelous during the two days of his Bar Mitzvah and did a superb job reading his prayers. We are so very proud of him.<br />

</a>Robyn did a wonderful job planning the weekend. Barb and I arrived in town about 4 days early to help her get everything all set up. Our most difficult project which involved creativity was to figure out what to use for center pieces for the tables. We spent one whole day going from craft store to craft store to wherever, to find just the right center piece. We were so proud of ourselves, when we figured out a way to make the center piece. After purchases at three different stores, we created a "masterpiece'. It was a fun day!<br />
<br />
The occasion was a wonderful reason for a family reunion. <br />

Jerome was a prosperus mining town in the early 1900's. The town was built on the side of the mountain about 10 miles from Cottonwood. It flourished for a number of years until the mine closed and it became a ghost town. Today it is an artist community with many stores, art galleries, and restuarants. A fun place to spend the day.</div>

While he was there, I flew to stay with the kids while Robyn was with Scott. After several difficult days, the meds worked and he was able to come home. We were all quite happy.<br />
<br />
There was not much time to take photos but I did get the kids to sit for a photo with their new puppy Houston. Yes, Houston is a puppy, less than a year old and already 50 lbs.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Haleakala National Park ranges through 5 distinctly different climates zones. The road to the Haleakala summit holds the world record for climbing to the highest elevation in the shortest distance (38 miles). The dormant volcano's vast moonlike crater floor with its towering cindercones is a geological wonder. From the 10,023 foot summit, the Big Island of Hawaii can be seen. </td></tr>

We were only able to see the steam from the lava where we were. We found out once we returned to the Mainland that the lava did reach the ocean about a week after we left. It was a very exciting and unusual event.<br />

<br />
They took us to breakfast. We then spent the rest of the morning walking around town with them and seeing the sights in the Kona area.<br />

</tbody></table>The last two days of the cruise we were to be docked in Kauai and then the ship would leave to go back to Honolulu. However, our good friends, Christine and JJ, were vacationing at their friend's house on Kauai. They invited us to spend a week with them at this beautiful home on the ocean. So on the second day in port, we left the ship and stayed a week in Kauai.<br />
