Monday 5/2/11 to 5/4/11 San Juan Bautista Trip

Greetings from Betabel RV Park


First of all, I have to say what a nice RV Park this is. Very clean and we have a huge space for our group, a very nice meeting room with a kitchen. Could not ask for more. We are centrally located to see many different areas which is nice and convenient. I would recommend Betabel RV Park for sure.


Monday, was a busy day. The golfers were off and playing most of the day. Some of the gals went shopping at the Outlets. We only hit one small section, had lunch, hit the grocery store and headed back to camp. Some of the folks just had a nice quiet kick back day. Appetizers and Happy Hour at 5:30 pm. It was a gorgeous day here on the coast.


Tuesday, we were off to the Monterey Aquarium. The aquarium has improved quite a bit since Ed and I were there several years ago. I think the entire group enjoyed the aquarium, and then we were off to have lunch at the Fish Hopper a few blocks away. We originally were going to Bubba Gump however they were not cooperative at all. Just trying to get a reservation was difficult. Executive decision by George, Ed R. and Ed N. they chose Fish Hopper who could not be more cooperative and excellent service. The food arrived for 22 people at the same time and very good. Another high recommendation. One thing that was negative, the weather was a lot cooler than we expected and some of us were not prepared. After lunch, Adele and John, Ed and Carol, Rosie and Mike, Ed and Maureen returned to the Aquarium. There was a lot more to see. I will try and get the pictures on soon, still have to edit them. A few couples went off to see other areas and a few went back to camp. We had a late Happy Hour, enjoyed the rec room playing cards in the evening.


Wednesday some of the group took off to Santa Cruz, one of my favorite places. Those on this trip, Adele and John, Carol and Ed, Dorothy and Ed Jane and Pat, George, Ed and Maureen. What a gorgeous day, a lot warmer than yesterday. Not many rides open this time off year. We had a bite to eat, not impressed but what the heck… My favorite thing to do, walking on the beach and we got a chance to get a nice walk in. I think we all got a bit of sun for sure today. One thing going on with some of our group… allergies!!!! Nasty but I think most of us felt better today. After the beach on to Camping World for a bit of retail therapy. We returned to camp to prepare for our BBQ….. What can I say but OUTSTANDING, as usual. George and Steve cooked the steaks, supervised by Ed R. Ed N. and Ron. They did an excellent job. The gals as always outdid themselves with the salads and side dishes, and the dessert was ice cream Sundays, banana splits, all the toppings and oh so yummy…. We toasted Gary and Marilyn  for putting on this trip and could not attend, and also Butch and Betty who could not attend.   We really missed you all and hope all is going well at home for you… Some of us returned to our rigs to watch American Idol, yes we are addicted, some stayed at the rec room for Pictionary, when I would pop in during commercials there was a rumor the guys were playing nasty!!! Hmmmm is that possible? Heck yeah!!!! Anyway they were laughing and having a good time…. A great day and more adventures tomorrow, I need to get some pictures edited and added, hopefully tomorrow… Until Next Time………
