A wine flight, a margarita flight, a cheese ‘flight’!

We actually stayed in Menifee at our second Thousand Trails park, Wilderness Lakes. It’s a nice park with small canals running through it (didn’t see any lakes!). Similar to most Thousand Trails parks, the sites in this one are first come, first serve. We again got really lucky and found a nice site with full hookups and 50 amp electric (which is good since it got really hot!). We weren’t near any of the canals but didn’t really want to be since the water draws bugs. Plus, the park is home to a huge flock of geese that like to hang out near the water. They’re kinda cool but you gotta watch out for the little land mines they leave behind!

Menifee is a nice little city with a couple of major grocery stores and a lot of restaurants, mostly chains. It was nice to be able to easily get to a grocery store or go out to eat.

The highlight of these two weeks was definitely being so close to Temecula, which is home to almost 50 wineries! We visited several of them over a few days! Our favorite was Wilson Creek and we actually joined their wine club. Now we have to figure out how to get back to pick up wine twice a year – oh, yeah, our home IS on wheels!

We also went in to Old Town Temecula a few times, including a Saturday night visit to the Old Town Blues Club. This is the first time we’ve been out to listen to a live band since Covid! It felt so great to be out again!

Speaking of getting out again after Covid, we also went to see two movies while we were there. The Reading Cinema’s at Cal Oaks is a super nice movie theater that’s been remodeled recently. The chairs are all huge leather electric recliners with a ton of leg room! First we saw In the Heights, which we had been looking forward to for a while – it did not disappoint! Then we went back to see A Quiet Place, Part II, which was also really good.

To cap our stay off we were fortunate to see a really cool Super Moon!
