Our work camping has started here in Petaluma and it is a new experience. With almost 300 sites and within a short drive to San Francisco it is a very busy campground. Also because of the demand it is also a little pricier than places we usually stay. There are RV sites, tent sites, KOA cabins, lodges, and group camping areas and it is full every weekend. During the week it is well occupied but with a different clientele. The weekends are families and groups and it is a bit noisier. It is a fun noisy but there is still quiet time after 10pm and that is somethng that will be my responsibility as night patrol. For now I am working on some special projects until the season officially starts on Memorial Day weekend.
Mary is in the front office and getting training on the KOA software and the workings of the camp store. The training is going slowly because we have been pretty busy but I am sure she will get up to speed soon. After all she is a lot smarter than I am and takes to front office work like a duck to water.
We have found most of the stores we need in the area and are settling in. Shopping in California is a little different than elsewhere. Most places ask "paper or plastic?" but here they ask "bag?" and then charge you for each bag you need. It is all about recycling and saving the environment here and I guess that is a good thing. We have a number of reusable and insulated bags so the only problem is remembering to bring them in to the store when we shop.
We have eaten out at a few restaurants and have really enjoyed them. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a carboholic. Pasta, rice, and bread.....especially bread if it is fresh or home made. The San Francisco area is known for their sourdough bread and it lives up to all the claims. Even Mary has decided that sourdough bread is the bomb. There will be NO keto dieting in the bay area! In less than two weeks we are already on our third loaf and I don't plan on stopping. Maybe slowing down a little, but bring on the sourdough.
Well I have to get ready for work soon so I will have a slice or two of that heavenly bread with my coffee before I head out from our home in California because......
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
Was actually worried that two of you would get ALL that way, and discover another 'Michigan'. So HAPPY this is not the case. Sounds as if San Francisco is going to be quite the experience for the two of you.
