San Jose visit 11/10/08









Here we are parked at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds in San Jose CA. This site was away from the main rv parking.. we sort of had our own personal site. You can see the arch to the fairgrounds in the background. The fairgrounds gave us a weekly rate, with full hookups. The only distraction was the music fests held on Saturday night in one of the fairground buildings. This wasn't really a hardship though, and we had no problems. They also had a 24 hour security patrol, and we were parked right near the ATM machines!

Another view of our set up. You can see we are not surrounded by rigs. We were the only ones there! Now in another park of the fairgrounds there is quite a rv-park, which was pretty full with carnival workers etc. So our reclusive site was great.













Oh yeah, there is also a motorcross track at the fairgrounds which was open on Sunday. Again, this was not close to us and we really didn't hear much noise. They looked like they were having a great time though.
















Here I am with our son Lance. We were in San Jose to play nurse after he had some surgery. Course being young and healthy, he didn't need much care, so all my Florence Nightengale dreams didn't last long. He has a great support system of friends who are pitching in while he recuperates.




On Sunday we had dinner with my daughter Lisa and her family. Double Treat! Got to see all the 'kids' this trip!

Here are Lisa and her husband Bill, head of their fabulous clan...

Dave and Vienna (granddaughter) on the left below and Hannah and Lacey with my brother Buzz to the right. We had a wonderful time and visit. We are so proud of the California side of the family (and the Washington side too, of course). Hannah graduates in June and we'll be Back!!!
