Malibu RV Park- Memorial Day Weekend 2005

[Dee4j]

we're still up in the air about the weekend..I didn't get anything done this last weekend as I am sick sick sick..It actually started Thurs and I thought I had a handle on it when WHAM Sat nite it hit me fever , cough, sneezing..OMG I haven't sneezed that much in my life.   Since I know the menu if we come I'll bring what we need.  Tonight my fever finally is gone but still feel crappy..Lori Is probably glad I didn't make it to O'neill and spread my germs. :yikes:


BTW Lori how cool..you're seeing the Pres.


also part of me wants to wait to see everyone at Pismo...I want to reach a certain goal on my diet and don't think I will make it by Fri.

whoops, sorry for the confusion lori, and thanks jeanne for settin it straight. my intention was to let you know what we were doing so you could plan around it. since our group is so small, it's pretty casual.  bring anything you like and we can all eat together.

WOW!!! the pres.?!! congrats, what an honor and we'll be a great audience for all the details! can't wait to hear all about it.

WOW!!!  I feel it already....just what I needed!:D

[Chez Way]

Woohoo!!! We're going camping and as far as I know there are no tornado warnings in southern California this weekend!  Last time we camped was in Newport Beach in February and it was a bit stormy....
 
Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Lori! I just told Jim that you are having a press conference with the president and he said "president of what?" I'm sure you'll have a story to tell this weekend.
 
 As far as the potluck is concerned, let us know when it works for you. We just planned out our menus together and need to figure the count so we can plan our shopping. Let us know what meals you are interested in and what you want to contribute. I saw your DO breakfast roll recipe in the recipe forum...sounds yummy.
 
 So here's the plan...
 
 Friday night---late dinner/casual bring your own hot dogs/burgers
 
 Saturday a.m. breakfast--- DO breakfast corn bread/eggs (Jeanne)
 
 
 Saturday p.m. dinner-- Tri-Tip (Jeanne and Karen)
 Caprese Salad and potatoes (Jeanne)
 Grilled veggies (Karen)
 
 Sunday a.m.-- Pancakes (Karen)
 
 
 Sunday p.m-- BBQ chicken (Jeanne and Karen)
 Corn on the cob (Jeanne)
 Artichokes (Karen)
 
 Monday-- (Dave's b'day) Chorizo and eggs burritos (Karen)
 
 Karen and I are both expecting guests this weekend so we are planning on bringing some extras.
 
 Also, anyone else out there planning on joining us please pipe up now! We're looking forward to a fun weekend.

Sorry for the late post--I've had a lot of business meetings lately!
 
 Here's our tentative plan:
 
 Friday night--we may go down to the little fish place. We could do DO cookies when we get back, if you'd like.
 
 Saturday a.m.--DO Monkey rolls and sausage to go with the egs and cornbread
 
 Saturday p.m.--shall we do a dessert? maybe a DO raspberry delight that was well received at ONeill last weekend
 
 Sunday a.m.--bacon and fruit salad to go with the pancakes
 
 Sunday p.m.--how about a DO braided dinner sesame bread/rolls thing and another dessert- maybe a DO pecan pie or upside down pineapple cake? (it would be my first attempt if you're up for being guinea pigs)
 
 Monday morning--at this point I don't have any ideas but I'll keep thinking...
 
 so how does that sound--is that okay or am I way off base? please let me know

you have filled the voids perfectly, lori. thanks...
well i guess we'll see every body tonite.  we hope to get up there between 6:00-7:00
W A H O O !!!

[Dee4j]

well It looks like we for sure won't be coming up... I'm working tomorrow nite.
Have fun. I told Kara last night she doesn't have school on Monday and she has a 3 day weekend so she says " then it would be perfect to go camping"
That's my girl...that apple I think is still on the tree :J

[griffsmom]

Dee, you will be greatly missed.  I hope that you are feeling better.  Get well so we can have a little fun at Pismo!

 
Cara's so cute!  Gotta love how our kids love camping so much!!

[Chez Way]

Sounds like we got ourselves a regular feeding frenzy!  Everything sounds great Lori.  I decided to make a DO pineapple upside down cake and am bringing the fixings but I'm sure we could manage to eat 2 of them!

Karen just called with a weather report...are you sitting down?  Possible rain on Monday, YIKES!  Oh well, I guess I jinxed it by mentioned the tornado warnings.
 
See everyone in Malibu.  We'll miss you Dee.

Well we are home again (less than an hour drive), unpacked, back from "Madagascar" and I'm looking at a mountain of clothes that need folding!
 
Just wanted to say what a wonderful weekend we had with everyone!  We had a beautiful campsite overlooking the ocean--right at the top of the trail to the beach.  The wildflowers were gorgeous and we saw a lot of dolphin.  The weather was a bit gloomy on Saturday, but Sunday (after a little morning dew) and today were amazing.  The kids had a blast at the beach and we had big fun hanging out with our fellow ScCampers and friends.  We ushered in Dave's birthday last night with our second night of hard core poker playing and over the course of the weekend I ate enough food for all the ScCampers...yum, it was all good.
 
Our very own Lori has a great story to tell about her trip to Washington...with a little prompting she may be willing to share her experience.
 
I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend.

wow It sounds like we missed out on a lot of fun. I did get about half my list taken care of Dan & I washed the hybrid Sat. :banghead: ..I think I will find some sucker to pay to do it next time.  Turned out Kevin had 3 school projects due tomorrow, we went to see Madagascar today. 9 more wake-ups and we're outta here. Jeanne how far is Valencia from you. I will be there WED (june 8th)afternoon for an overnighter. maybe you guys can bring the kids up and Swim. they have 3 pools and a game room...

Dee,
A rendezvous in Valencia sounds like fun but my kids are in school until the 24th and I work late.   What is the name of the campground--we may want to check it out another time.
 
If I don't get the chance to say it before you leave--Have a wonderful vacation!  You are in for quite an adventure I am sure.  We'll be thinking of you.

We were all tuckered out last night--so much so that we fell asleep before we could post about what a wonderful time we had this weekend (once we got past the fairly rough start)! :mad:
 
 It was really great to be able to get to know everyone better and what a nice group to ring in a big birthday with (Dave's, not mine )  You were sweet to let him win at poker for hs birthday. Griffin had a great time with his new camping friend, Samantha, and Miss Chris and Miss Jeanne--you should know that you rate pretty highly if he asks you to take him peeps. The food was tremendous and I'm blaming you for all the weight I gained this weekend-lol! Thanks to evveryone for a wonderful time!!
 
 Dave's trial on the 11th of July has gone off calendar, and he'll find out this Friday about his trial on the 18th. If that one goes off, maybe the weekend of July 22nd-24th would work for a repeat performance (minus the "Yazi"). I'll post after Dave's MSC on Friday. I also have a few pictures that I took and I'll upload those to the Web and post the link afer I get Griff to bed.
 
 
 PS Dee have a marvelous and safe trip.  See you in about 3 weeks!
