Weekend Fun

And the fun never stops! On Saturday morning Bob and I took part in a Pool Aerobics class that got us moving and feeling relaxed. We both agreed that we will do this again. I also took the opportunity for a nice, long shower in the locker room, to take advantage of all that hot water that we weren't using our propane to heat. Lovely! Our shower in the rig is fairly spacious as RV showers go, but we do try to conserve when using it.

After pool and shower time we made a quick lunch before heading out to visit the city of Temecula. We started out in Old Town which is full of Old West buildings and worn wooden planked sidewalks. It's funny, because I associate Texas with the Old West and we saw few preserved old buildings. In Temecula we felt like we were in an old Western movie.

We stopped in to the Visitors Center to chat with the helpful woman there and pick up some ideas of places to visit, coming away with a list of local wineries with wine tastings.

After Old Town we decided to pick up groceries and discovered Sprouts, a local natural food store, where we bought some nice produce. It was next door to a Walmart so our shopping was now complete!

Sunday was lovely and relaxed.  Bob and I took Auggie to sit next to Pond 6 and enjoy the sound of the waterfall.  We had a lovely view of the mountains there, too.

We decided to treat ourselves to lunch out and a wine tasting--when in Rome, right? There are a couple dozen wineries to choose from, so we went with Faulkner Winery, one of the oldest in the region. The setting was just lovely and our table had a nice view of the countryside.

In California they charge for wine tastings, which consist of a pre-determined number of one ounce servings of wine. We each paid $10 for four different tastes. On the east coast we never had to pay for tastings so that was a little odd to us. But we came home with a bottle to enjoy later.

When we returned to the resort Bob and I took a cool dip in the pool, as we were feeling a bit warm. Everyone is a friend here and it is easy to start up a conversation with a total stranger and end up exchanging names. We finished in the hot tub and walked back to our site.

Later we brought out our Little Red Campfire and sat outside as the sun went down, reading, chatting, and enjoying the evening. The stars were out and there were very few insects. Just lovely!
