We began the day having lunch with “The Ol’ Guys”, Sue’s old Boeing group \u00a0who have been retiring and decided to get together every other month at Taco Surf in Sunset Beach. \u00a0We had a great time swapping stories and finding out about other folks! Join the fun1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Good food… Good memories<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul’s tamales (pork and chicken) were excellent<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Robin had a shrimp quesadilla<\/p><\/div>\n

We then headed for home for a few minutes before going to Laguna and meeting with Donna and Bob at the Laguna Canyon Winery. \u00a0We fooled around there buying some wine before dinner.<\/p>\n

Winery and Auto Collision – An Odd Couple!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We met Donna and Bob plus picked up a case of the newly released wine!<\/p><\/div>\n

We drove down the canyon to the Festival Grounds parking area and carefully put our steed away for a couple of hours. \u00a0We walked to “The Lumber Yard” and had dinner. \u00a0Paul should NOT have done it but the pork chop special looked too inviting! \u00a0Dang it was good!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Excellent dining in the heart of Laguna<\/p><\/div>\n

We then walked across the street to the festival grounds and had a glass of wine before meeting up with everyone for the Pageant Of The Masters. \u00a0We had about 30 of our group there including Mike (who backed out of doing the statue of David after he saw a picture of it).<\/p>\n
