'Twas The Night Before Christmas...

     Mayflower County Park is located in Blythe, California on the Colorado River. We had no sewer hookup (hey, we're all adults here) so I decided to wait and take my shower later in the day at Motorcoach Country Club as both Suzanne and Aaron had taken showers and we had run the dishwasher and done a load of laundry. I'm sure we still had plenty of grey water capacity but I didn't really feel like taking a shower anyway.
     Travis and I took this morning's walk down by the Colorado River.

    We had just under a hundred miles to travel to reach today's destination, Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, California. MCC is advertised as being 'The crown jewel of motorcoach resorts', and it truly is. We stayed here once before in March of 2016 for a week. It's quite expensive but it's fun to treat ourselves to a week at a place like this every 21 months or so. Hey, you only live once.
    The site we are in has a casita with a small kitchen, bathroom and laundry. It also has a beautiful outdoor kitchen, dining and lounging areas (complete with a fireplace) and our own swimming pool! It's really very nice.

    Motorcoach Country Club is "class A exclusive". There are no trailers of any sort, no class B or class C RVs. Many of the coaches here are of the $1.5 million to 2.5 million variety. It's fun to walk around and look at all the different rigs...and the cars parked beside them! Bentleys, Jaguars etc.. my little 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara looks just a little out of place. Many of the residents here own their site. There are unimproved sites, improved sites and some very improved sites with casitas the size of small houses, lavishly landscaped with swimming pools. Have some fun browsing their websiteand check out prices of some of the more luxurious FOR SALE sites. There's also a par 3 golf course at the center of the resort and more than 2 miles of "navigable man-made waterways". Quite a place.
    Suzanne's sister's daughter, Kayla surprised us by showing up at 1:30 with IN-N-OUT burgers! My favorite! We had a wonderful time visiting with Kayla for a couple of hours. She left mid-afternoon and we finished organizing the inside of the coach and drove over to Suzanne's mom's place. Suzanne's brother, Doug had arrived at Joanne's earlier in the day. We spent an hour or so visiting then all piled into my little SUV for the 10 minute drive over to MCC -  so they could see the coach and visit there for a while before going out to dinner. Doug diagnosed and fixed a problem I've been having with a GFCI outlet in the master bathroom. Thanks, Doug.
    Following a very enjoyable dinner and equally enjoyable conversation, we dropped the two of them off back at Joanne's and returned to the coach where we called it a night.
    As for tomorrow, Christmas day, we've been invited to a day of dining, gift giving and conviviality at the home of Suzanne's sister Jodi and her husband Bear. A day to which we are very much looking forward.
