We leave in the AM for this park: http://www.49ervillage.com/ (Note to stalkers/burglars - my daughter and stepdaughter will be staying at our house, taking care of the cats).
We are grossly overpacking. I have margaritas and bloody Marys and beer, as well as diet sodas, coffee, and champagne for our anniversary dinner.
I am planning to cook multiple different meals on our campstove or indoor stove. I have all sorts of veggies to roast on the BBQ. I have ice cream. I have bacon and eggs and cheese, and pre-cut tomatoes to make those tomato/basil/ricotta/balsalmic glaze/sourdough crisps I love. I have Chinese chicken salad with mandarin oranges and olives, partially pre-made, with the lettuce ready to add so it doesn't get soggy. Hummas, salsa and chips. Fixings for dog turd stew (kielbasa and Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice, plus tomatoes, bell peppers and squash). I'm going to make chili and try to bake a chili cornbread, either on the campstove, or try out the little oven in the RV. For our anniversary evening, I bought filet mignon, potatoes to bake and roast veggies, plus a bottle of 2005 Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee, which we've had since a 2008 visit to the winery. And hamburgers, buns, lettuce, tomatoes and red onions. We are taking a little extra stuff, just in case there is an(other) earthquake and we're trapped in the mountains.
I need to remember to take the anniversary presents I bought him at the military surplus story (a fancy Leatherman multitool to wear on his belt for being manly around the campground, and a fancy adjustable wrench so he doesn't have to bring his whole tool box with us) and the cards. I actually stopped by the medical supply store to buy him a binder and a truss as anniversary presents, but they were EXPENSIVE and non-refundable. Plus, I don't think he would have enjoyed the joke, nor worn them, even though he kinda needs them. We were not supposed to buy each other birthday or anniversary gifts this year, as the RV and accoutrements (like the GPS and backup camera), and he already violated that rule last week.
