It's a new year!

We had a wonderfully relaxing and quiet Christmas and hope the same was true for all of our friends and family! We drove three hours to Montgomery on Christmas Eve Day in our new RV for a "shakedown" trip [to find any bugs that might need to be fixed]. We arrived at the KOA, parked and went in search of a good restaurant. After three days of moving our belongings from the old RV into the new one [I still haven't found the shoes that I misplaced], we were too tired to cook and hungry as we hadn't eaten since breakfast. The first two restaurants we went to were closed or just closing, so we were about to head back to the RV but decided to take a chance on an Italian restaurant called Giovanni's. Just as we got there, the sky opened up and it really started pouring. The restaurant was super busy and after waiting what seemed like eternity, someone finally greeted us and asked if we had reservations. Reservations? Uh, no. Luckily, they had a table for two available and it turned out to be a very romantic evening. The food and service were exceptional and we can't wait to go back. We're pretty sure our waiter was Giovanni!

Christmas day was spent with Ed and Connie visiting in our new RV. That evening we went to see True Grit at the movie theatre. It was brrrrrr cold which made it seem more like Christmas. After the weekend, we drove back to Nac where we would spend our days in our old coach while the new one was in the shop. We drove back to Ed and Connie's for New Years weekend where none of us made it up until midnight New Year's eve! That's a true sign of aging!

So here we are back in Nac where the weather is pleasant enough. It's fun coming back here, we always run into other Foretravel owners from around the country that we've met in the past. In a few days, we'll be heading to Marble Falls, near Austin, to meet up with friends Mike and Lynda from Seattle for the weekend. After that, we'll be hanging out between Nac and Montgomery until we head to Breckenridge, Colorado with Ed and Connie the third week in February, for a week of skiing. We won't be taking the RV on this trip. We'll be staying at Grand Lodge, a ski in-ski out property where we have a timeshare. More on that later.

That's all for now.
