Where are we today ?
Today we had a plan. At least we thought we had a plan. We wanted to take a drive to Long Beach California and tour the Queen Mary. A bit more research and told us a 90 minute drive. Pay for parking and $25:00 each to do a self guided tour of the ship. Not really in our budget so we canned that idea and decided to just enjoy the great weather we have here.
Walkabouts the resort, puttering around and we had another great day.
wanna fish here ? |
It is a very nice resort lots to see and do, except for the road noise right beside I-10, probabaly not come back here again as nice as it is.
We did enjoy some more reading in the shade. new book for Suzie today, below.
Then I gonna whip up dinner tonight. Hot pork sandwich (w/gravy), creamy whipped potatoes, and some steamed broccoli sure hit the spot.no Weber Q tonight |
Thanks for stopping on by.

Check out the map below to see where we have been this Winter
With a 90 minute drive each way, I would probably can it too. You never know what kind of traffic you'll be running into either so it could have been an all day event. Duchess probably wouldn't like to be left all alone all day long either.
ReplyDeleteWe don;'t want to spend that much money either to bad so sad....
DeleteWhen do you guys start heading back to Ontario ?
ReplyDeleteActually start heading east this Thursday will only have 48 days to get back to Ontario.
DeleteWe drove right by Beaumont today didn't know you were there. We can't do those long trips because of the dogs.
ReplyDeleteDid you wave at us we can see the traffic from out site.
DeleteThe book is good, but leaves you hanging. Will have to get the next one:Gone.
ReplyDeleteWe will keep an eye open for it too.
Delete$25 is way more than we would pay also.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty walk for sure.
Yep too pricey, don't want to see it that bad.
DeleteWe end up with "Plan BB" more often than not as well.
ReplyDeletePlans are written in chalk so we can do what we like. Thats why back up plans are nice.
DeleteJust think of all the crazy traffic you avoided by staying put in the park.
ReplyDeleteThat was another consideration on not wanting to go.
DeleteI think you made the right decision.
ReplyDeleteYep us too!
DeleteSeems kinda pricey to me... I'd rather hang out with James Patterson....
ReplyDeleteIt was the best choice that we agreed on.
DeleteJust think how relaxed you were by dinnertime as opposed to how frazzled and broke you'd be if you had to drive to Long Beach and then tour the Queen Mary.
ReplyDeleteWe thought about that too, would not have been a fun drive.
DeleteSmart move! You turned me off at 90 minutes in LA traffic.
ReplyDeleteThats for sure!
ReplyDeleteI don't like paying for stuff either ... especially ... with you and Suzie! that's $50! am I a whiz at math or what! anyway lots of videos on the Queen Mary ...
ReplyDeleteNot much of a tourist type place goer... too many free things to see ~ I did do Hearst Castle in San Simeon years back... it was really fun seeing that kind of opulence and the history?! The ceilings were different in each room and the view! ... can not imagine anyone having that kind of money ~ well, yes, I can imagine but jeeeez
Have you been on Highway 1? it's really not for huge ol rigs but parts of it are okay. Just a magnificent highway. The prettiest part of California to me.
Not been on Hwy 1 yet, someday we hope to get there.
