January
2015....New
Years Day we drove to Carlsbad, Ca. We arrived at Aunt Marge's condo around noon. We visited with her, Shelly and Bob. Marge went with
us to lunch at a fish place on the beach. We stayed with Danny &
Lexi at the Towneplace Marriot in Vista, Ca. It was in between
Marge's condo and the wedding venue. We had a pizza dinner with
Danny & Lexi on Thursday. On Friday I went to Aunt Marge's to do
her hair for the wedding. Then Lexi even let me curl her hair for
the wedding. We all go dressed up to attend the wedding. The
setting was at Twin Oaks Garden Estate. It was beautiful and the
wedding was perfect. It was pretty cold for our sleeveless dresses
but we all had sweaters. It was even cold in the tent but we had a
great time anyway. It was great to see and visit with – Sheila,
Jeromy and kids, Bob & Paula, and Marge and Shelly. We
overnighted a second night. On Sat. we made a stop at Home Depot and
Trader Joes and then made the 3 hr. drive back to the motorhome in
