Another beautiful day

We have been at Lake Skinner since Monday afternoon.  There is nothing negative I can say about the campgrounds here.  The mornings have been cool and beautiful.  I look out my back window and see the beautiful grassy area and the lake beyond.  I enjoy listening to the little kids camped next to us play and laugh it brings back many memories of camping with our kids and now our grandchildren.  We take long walks in the morning to see how the rest of the campgrounds is set up.  There is three different sections, A, B, and C. We are in section C.  A and B are closer to the lake but the spaces are smaller so we are happy where we are.
The afternoons have been warm (in the low 90's) but pleasant. Yesterday we drove up to Diamond lake to see how it was.  It is a big earthen dam that I wouldn't want to live by it if it were to break.  There is no camping there just fishing and boating.  We went in to Hemet to look around, we will be staying there Friday until Monday morning.  There is a big sprint car race at Perris raceway Saturday night we will be going to.  We take the back way back to Lake Skinner which turns out to be an unimproved road that is very rough.
There are many beautiful vineyards with multi million dollar homes on them.  I would hate to have to drive that road everyday.  It was a lot of fun and we saw a lot of the area we had never seen before.
While walking yesterday morning we met another retired couple from San Diego.  They invited us over for happy hour last night.  We all were amazed how much the four of us had in common.  They might meet us at Dirks night club in Lemon Grove on the 19th.  It turns out that they grew up in Lemon Grove.

Today we lazed around most of the morning and then drove into Temecula for lunch. We had mexican food at a place called Rosa's Cantina.  Food was good but more like fast food, but you got a lot of it.  I don't think I will make dinner tonight.  It's  now 6pm and neither of us is hungry.  We stopped to Walmart to pick up a few things including strawberries and whip cream.  Maybe we will just have dessert  tonight.
The sun is now setting over the lake and makes you relax just to look at it.  Not sure what we have planned for tomorrow but I am sure it will be fun no matter what it is.
