Best Wishes for Thanksgiving

Well it has been way too long since we posted any thing on our blog. I guess we just got lazy or something. We haven't had any real interesting pictures to post and we haven't seen very many new things. We went back to Tequlia Flats one day while we were in Apache Junction. We moved west to Palm Desert Ca. and was there for three weeks. While we were there we went to a desert museum, road on the Aerial Tram, and visited a Botanical Garden. The Aerial Tram went from the Palm Springs Ca. desert floor which is about 800 ft above sea level to about 11,000 feet above sea level. The tram is the second highest in the world and the floor rotates so everyone gets to see every direction. The mountain that the tram goes up is called Mt. San Jacinto and has a California State Park on top. You leave a hot desert climate and go up to an alpine forest with temps around 40 to 50 degrees.
We moved to Wilderness Lakes Resort just out of Menifee, Ca. We will be here about seventeen days and then if I do not hear from Teddy we will go back to Palm Springs Resort in Palm Desert, Ca.
We will have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow with new folks we have met. It will not be like being with family though. That is the worst thing abut traveling, we never get to spend time with our kids, grand kids, and great grand kids. Having Thanksgiving dinner together with family is special and we miss that. We miss watching Colten, our newest grand son and all of our great grand children grow and learn to talk, walk, laugh, and play.
We wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and wish we were there to spend time together, but we are enjoying our travels.
