Double Header



We made a spur of the moment decision to get out of town.  First we headed up to Lake Arrowhead, where  snow was plentiful and the lake was beautiful.  With a new storm approaching, we headed down the mountain enroute to Palm Desert, home of our Desert Willows timeshare.  We spent time at Cabazon, the street fair, Sherman's Deli, The River, McCormick's Classic Car Auction, Murph's Restaurant at Bermuda Dunes, etc.  We have a return engagement planned at the Willows after Easter with reservations already set for a full week.

Newport/Laguna




Rich and Peggy reserved a full week at Newport Coast Marriott Villas.  We drove down to spend some time with them.  Highlights of the visit included walking through the town of Balboa, ferrying across Newport Bay, touring both piers and adjacent areas, eating at The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove, and taking a cruise on a Duffy electric boat in Newport Harbor with a picnic lunch.  The weather and company were terrific!  It was a great little outing.
