We always have a great time with our BFF’s Donna and Jeff but when we party over New Year’s it’s ever better!  We shared our first really big RV camping trip with them last New Years at Wine Country RV Resort and I can’t believe a year has passed already!

This cracked me up, especially since nary a marshmallow was found this weekend.  We drove up to Boulder Creek, a 2 hour drive in pouring rain, on Friday the 30th, got all set up, had a great dinner in our friend’s RV, then when the rain let up we headed over to the lodge to hang out by the fire, play games, and eat ice cream.  A great first night.  I should also mention here that the 30th would have been my brother Rick’s birthday.  He always joked that Chuckie and his Bride were his kids so we often travel with them.  Miss you Rick…miss you every day ❤

Saturday and Sunday we played games inside and out, ate like kings, played at the lodge, soaked in the hot tub, and hiked.  We found beautiful quartz on our hike which are in the rock tumbler turning into huge diamonds… A girl can wish!

Some great campfires!

On New Year’s day we watched football and ate traditional New Year’s day food for luck and prosperity … black-eyed peas and coleslaw…along with Jeff’s amazing prime rib.  The resident park cat “BC” loved Donna of course…and came to visit when she wasn’t guarding the aviary inside the lodge. Another weekend rich with fun, and new memories made with our best friends Donna and Jeff.
