Jan 28 – Feb 3, Mon-Sun...Dixie kept busy this week doing haircuts (18) . On Monday we took in a movie (American Gangster) with our friends from Chicago. It was good, although violent!
On Tuesday Dixie met Danny & Lexi at her gym class & then to Chuckie Cheese for pizza & games.
Wednesday afternoon we drove to Riverside and picked up Marge & Don (aunt & uncle) and then drove to Anaheim to meet Doug, Fran, Levi & Tyler for dinner at their hotel. We had a great time visiting and catching up on their vacation week. We stayed overnight at Marge’s & visited in the morning. Dixie caught the stomach virus that Mike had & is still not feeling well. Mike’s lasted for a full week & it looks like Dixie’s will as well.
On Thursday we drove back to Desert Hot Springs with a side trip to Hemet to check out an RV park there. It wasn’t great so we will be cancelling that reservation!
On Friday, we moved approximately 25 miles to another of our membership parks in the area, Indian Waters RV park in Indio, Ca. This park is in a better location to access all of the cities in and around the Palm Springs area. It’s also a few degrees warmer and the wind doesn’t blow quite as much. Later, we met with our friend Ross for dinner at Murph’s Gaslight restaurant for pan fried chicken.
On Saturday, we went to the “street fair” at the College of the Desert campus in Palm Desert. This excellent market is attended by thousands of people every weekend. Later, Dixie’s brother Danny and daughter Lexi came over for a visit and dinner.
On Sunday morning, (Super Bowl Day) we met Dixie’s brother Danny along with Montana relatives Bill and Gloria Brinkman at the Agua Caliente casino for brunch. It was excellent food and we had a good visit with them. Later, we visited more Montana friends, Jim and Diane Jenks at their Palm Springs apartment for a Super Bowl get together. Unfortunately, after the first quarter of play, their cable television went out due to high winds in the area. We contemplated going to a casino or bar to watch the game but decided to just stay home and listen to the game on the radio. It was definitely a first for most of us. Super Bowl XLII will not be soon forgotten.
