Fisherman's Wharf

Today John and I went to the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco. Had a good lunch at the Fisherman's Grotto overlooking the  docks and water. We toured the old ships and the art galleries. We finished the day by watching the harbor boats come and go while enjoying a glass of wine.

Sacramento

I lived in Sacramento from 1986 to 1994 while I was in the Air Force.  I took John to all my old hangouts today and then we got together with one of my dearest friends, Denise, for dinner.  Terrific seeing her.  She looks amazing and so nice to see how happy she is.  We had a wonderful time catching up and reminiscing about the ol' days.

Sterling Vineyard


On Wednesday, we moved to California and set the RV up in the FamCamp at Travis AFB. Today we visited the Sterling vineyard; love Sterling wines.  We enjoyed the tram ride and the lovely views. We did the select tasting and Melanie was terrific as our private wine tasting host.

It is wonderful to be in California!

Redwood National Park






We had a relaxing Monday, just chilled-out at the RV. Today, we visited Redwood National Park in Northern California. A beautiful place preserving amazing groves of redwood trees. We loved walking the trails - the trees are absolutely majestic. Before leaving the area, we drove to the beach. We ended our day back in Oregon with steaks at Texas Roadhouse.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon








We went to Crater Lake National Park today. We love this place!  The grandeur of the size of the volcano caldera and the amazing shades of blue water are breathtaking!  We drove around the rim and stopped at various view points, all so beautiful.  The lake is absolutely gorgeous.

On the way out of the park we stopped and hiked along the Rouge River.

Kingsley Field, Oregon






We arrived at Kingsley Field in the afternoon, a quiet, well-maintained Air National Guard Base. There are only 5 RV spaces and four of them were taken. We were very lucky, we got the last spot. We walked around and checked out the base and then jumped into the jeep to explore Klamath Falls.
