Christmas day 2020

 Well, for the most part, we had a very relaxing, nice Christmas day. We lounged in bed until we HAD to walk the dogs, lol; then after a nice walk along the beach, we came back to the RV and had a good brunch, waffles and bangers (Scottish breakfast sausages).  We made phone calls to friends to wish them a merry Christmas and then about 3:30ish decided it was time to walk the dogs again. We decided on a nice long walk to get our 10,000 steps in.  On our way back, Cherie was looking across the street and saying merry Christmas to some people when Martha (because she was tired) slowed down and Cherie tripped over her, landing hard on her left wrist.  Everyone asked if she was ok, and of course, she said she was. She found it difficult to get up, but was able to with help from Graham. He said, "I think you might have broken your wrist.". Cherie, of course, denied that could be the case.  " let's just get back to the RV and ice it," she says.

We get back and as she starts to ice it he, she feels the pain radiating her arm.  She says, I think we should go to the ER. Upon having X-Ray, they discover that it is indeed a broken wrist. Cherie's comment, "damn, I hate it when he is right.". The good thing is there is still time for an uplifting end to 2020.

Corpus Christi, TX (Christmas Eve)

We stayed at Pio Pico for about 10 days visiting South Bay friends and family and then went up to Vista to stay at the Elks Lodge for 2 weeks.  While there, we had lots of dinners with our friend Janette and watched lots of Hallmark movies, which Janette and Cherie love (Graham puts up with them:)).  

We took a week to travel from Vista to Corpus Christi. We arrived yesterday and our next adventure has begun with us parked on the beach at NAS Corpus Christi.  We were greeted with tropical weather of 75 degrees and high humidity followed by a night of gale force winds of 35 to 40 knots and waves breaking over the seawall.  We brought two of our slides in to protect the awnings.  The winds finally calmed down today around noon. 



It is Christmas Eve and this afternoon we will decorate the RV, tonight we will attend Christmas Eve services at the Protestant Chapel on base.  We have not been to church since all of them were closed in March.

Wrap up

 We stayed in Flagstaff for about 5 days to visit with our daughter, Danielle; and had a wonderful visit.

We arrived back in San Diego on November 24.  We traveled through 17 states and stayed at 38 campgrounds. What a trip!

Highlights were: Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Indiana (Amish Country & visiting Bob's nieces and nephew), Henry Ford Museum, Frankenmuth, visiting with Ninette and then Danielle.

Graham and I will soon be heading to Corpus Christi, Texas for Christmas and bringing in the New Year.  Despite COVID19, we traveled the country and met nice people and saw a lot of this great country.
