The weather needs to improve in southern California!

Feb 19 – 24, Tue-Sun ...The weather hasn’t cooperated since we’ve been here in Menifee (cool and rainy) but on Wednesday, we drove the short distance to Temecula, CA and visited their “old town” shopping district. While there, we enjoyed a warm Latte coffee at a Starbucks coffee house. Friday, we drove into Riverside and had lunch with Mike’s sister Sandy and her husband Buster and a friend. We had a very good lunch at a restaurant called Claim Jumper. Dinner was at Dixie’s Aunt Marge’s in Riverside. Rather than driving back to Menifee after dark, we stayed over night with her. On Saturday, we met Buster and Sandy and their three grandkids, at a Chuck E Cheese restaurant for a lunch of pizza and salad. Later, we went over to their house in Mission Viejo for a visit. The drive home was via the Ortega highway which winds 26 miles through the Santa Ana Mountains. Sunday, we moved, in the rain, 55 miles to Pomona. We are parked at the Los Angles County fair grounds to attend the RV rally sponsored by the Family Motor Coach Association that we belong to. This is five days of dry camping (no hook-ups), education seminars, accessory shopping and entertainment, including the Belamy Brothers on Thursday night. There will be more than 5,000 motorhomes here; it should be a fun time, if the weather will cooperate.
