Today the sun is out and it feels great. It is still in the 60’s but if feels much warmer with the sun shining. Steven’s friend from the Navy Daniel Melendez and his girlfriend Sara arrived at 4am. I thought I heard voices when I got up to go to the bathroom but I didn’t know it was them as I could not hear what they were saying. They drove from Arizona to meet up with Steven this weekend. He if from New Jersey but lives in Delaware now. I think they are just on a long road trip across the country. Anyway, they slept through our breakfast but we saved them two plates of food. It was a big breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, juice, cantaloupe, banana, etc. After that we headed off to Santa Cruz. Julie went with us as the others weren’t ready yet. We had a good time. I have never been to the boardwalk and it was interesting. We went on a few rides and Julie had a great time. Julie and I went on the log ride and got wet but we dried quickly. We planned to check out Brighton State Beach but we were too tired after the boardwalk so we came straight back. Saira, Faby and I warmed up the food and cooked what needed to be cooked. This is a lot of work. I honestly don’t see how Deb and Sam do this for twice as many people! Of course they do have a larger kitchen set up to work with. Additionally we broke the knob on one of the trailer burners so we are reduced to one burner in there. Fine for John and I but not so great when cooking for 12! Dinner was consumed and cleaned up, and we are more than ready to be horizontal. Looks like everyone is dragging tonight. It feels darn good to put my feet up tonight. After we collapsed in bed we hear a program going on at the campfire. We might have gone to that if we realized it sooner. They are playing a guitar and singing songs… Next time!
