Eating our way around
I think we are still going down the Oregon and Northern California route here. I took this picture for my parents who like old cars.
We were impressed as we managed to see lots of Elk...
And even went for walks in the forests...
We made the winding drive along the avenue of the giants to see all the humongous Red woods, and they really were. We both enjoyed seeing them. Still wonder where ALL the animals are! Hardly see any it seems any more...
I am not sure the dead pelican counts...
The first thing we did when we made it to my sisters was to unhook the car and take it to the car wash. It had layers upon layers of grime...
The second thing we did was go to Hap's Original Steak and Chop house for dinner. It was pretty good. Pricey somewhat for suburbia though... I was trying to be arty in these pictures...
The next night we had my niece so we went for the less cost options at Applebies for dinner. My niece does not like looking at the camera!
And I am afraid to say that our next days entertainment looked exactly the same...Out to dinner at Espetus Churrascaria, a Brazilian Steakhouse. Not quite as good as Texas de Brazil, but we still stuffed ourselves full with cow! This is actually a picture of my sister smiling...Very unusual! See what happens when she gets lots of meat?
Chris still had his tab over to green for more meat long after the rest of us had gone on to dessert!
Of which I am not sure how I found room for peanut butter and oreo ice cream pie but I certainly did and then whined all the way home! I am thinking maybe pasta tonight!

Kerri , sure looks like you are enjoying yourselfs ......good for you.
I could not find any other way to contact . I have a question about the plastic kayaks that you can on Promenade, or I should say that you had when you owned Promenade. I have been reading that a plastic one that lives in the sun and heat in the south can be expected to last only five years. I was hoping to get more than this out of one. I have not yet made a purchase, Just doing the required research........What is your opinion on this and what size would you recommend for poking around in the harbours ?
I figure you over anyone should have the answer to this with all your experience.
By the way , miss you on the Promenade Blog altho Bruce and Lisa are doing a great job......
good luck

We do get more then 5 years out of them. Some are close to ten on the boat. However, the light colors disintegrate much faster, I think the one year we bought a yellow one I don't even think it made it to 5 years!
I would go with as LIGHT and NOT BULKY as can be. Something with a rudder steers much better AND definitely something that has seat backs on it, otherwise your back kills you. Even the plastic ones you can get seat backs for (although the clasps on them rust pretty quickly in the salt water, we don't leave them on there all the time and take them off in between when we remember) We also strip any metal on the kayaks off that is non essential, if it has any on either the seat backs or kayaks to help them last longer..
