Now back on the road, this time to Lancaster, CA where we squeezed into the RV spot next to Bill's sister Nikki's house. Bill and Nikki hosted us for a few days, and we enjoyed spending Christmas with them as well as grandson Brian Yount, our niece Jean, nephew Sam, and grand-niece Marisa. Lots of football on the TV, and way too much food!
On Dec 26, we took off for Pasadena, and our staff position at the Fantasy RV Tours Pasadena Rose rally, this link takes you to the blog for the rally where you can view some of our activities. :-) I won't bore you with all my pix, 'cause you saw it all on TV anyway!
We camped at the parking lot of Santa Anita Raceway, a 15 min bus ride from our parade seats. There were over 100 RVs. We had 30 amp power via a generator, but no water or sewer. Had a honey wagon dump everyone half way thru the rally, and a water truck to top off everyone who needed some. Our guests lived in their rigs, but Fantasy provided all the meals, either catered at a circus tent on site or dining out at Santa Anita Racetrack, San Antonio Winery, or wherever. Had a New Years Eve party, open bar, decorations, and band, and celebrated with NY so we could hit the bed at 9PM in preparation for a 6AM wakeup to get the buses to the parade seats before pandemonium. It was a great experience for us, and many many guests told us it was a terrific rally, super way to see the parade. The best part is nobody (but the poor bus drivers) had to brave the traffic! After the rally and cleanup, we were pooped. Headed for Jojoba Hills campground for some down time and a visit with Travelin' Fran!
