Sunset looking from our friend Joanne's living room on 12/2/25

There might not be enough snow, but the holiday weekend sunsets were pretty spectacular. Emerald Bay

We had Sabastian over for dinner.

​A date day.  A movie and a food truck meal.  I really know how to impress a girl still.  LOL

Starting our road trip.  Stopped at Schat's Bakery in Bishop. Then a stop in Beatty, NV. w/ Mickey & Minnie

Then a fun, full day of playing in Vegas. First, we go see "The Wizard of Oz" in the Sphere.  Then walked to the Bellagio to see their Christmas exhibition.  Which ment we walked about 4 miles.  Then the Disco Show.

 It's always a blessing when I get to see my big brother. Nanette and Mickey for lunch.

L to R:  Bev, Darrell, Ali, Kerry, Pat, Joe, Debbie, & Terry. Our long time friends in Newport Beach + Greg

Terry and Debbie's neighbor had this gigantic Santa next door to them.  Very Impressive.

A little beach time and then the Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade.  We were in it.  Accendently. LOL

Our last night in 2025. Thanks Joanne for having us over. A fun night celebrating New Years Eve.  The pasta and salad were great and the  dessert was amazing (Baked Alaskan). Below: Pat, Ali, Joanne, Gladys and Pat having a great meal and then watching the Festivities from New York on West Coast time.  We cheated. 

And then the Palis watched the whole thing again on west coast time.

Good Bye 2025 and Hello 2026.  We're still here. LOL
