We Have Neighbors . . .
After a morning of doing totally nothing (very nice) we headed out about 3pm for an afternoon of shopping and dining. Well, more like Sam’s/Wal-Mart and Chinese.
As we were getting in the truck to leave, the Service Manager stopped by to let us know that everything’s waiting on the insurance end before they can proceed. Hopefully that will get resolved quickly.
Our first stop was at the local Sam’s Club, mostly for prescriptions, which turned out to be kind of a bust, since they only had 3 of the 6 ready. So we’ll have to come back tomorrow. Figure I’ll also fill up when we come back since Sam’s is pretty much the cheapest gas around. In fact we plan on filling up with diesel there on our way out of town. Whenever that is.
Then it was back over this way to have dinner at Beijing Garden, one of only a few Chinese places in the area, and the one with the best ratings on Yelp.
Like many places, Beijing Garden’s ratings seem to range from 1 star to 4 or 5 stars, with not a lot in between.
Beijing Garden is in a nondescript location in a Safeway shopping center, but we weren’t discouraged since some of our favorite places are in locations like this.
The inside, however, is light and airy, and nicely decorated. Someone has a real sense of style.
After looking over the menu, we both decided on the same dish, the Orange Peel Spicy Crispy Chicken Dinner.
With the meal, we got Hot and Sour Soup, an Egg Roll, 2 Crab Puffs, and Hot Tea. A great deal for only $11.95 each. And it was all really good. And such a large portion that we didn’t even have room to split a Green Tea Ice Cream as we had planned.
One thing we noticed is how many regulars came in while we there. The hostess seem to know them all by name, always a good sign.
A great place. We’ll go back.
Then it was right next door to Wal-Mart for some supplies. After all it’s not a complete week if we don’t go to Wal-Mart. Finally coming back to the rig, we made quick stop at the Fry’s across the street for a couple of things we didn’t find at Wal-Mart.
We apparently now have neighbors here at the Affinity RV Park. They have a 2015 Jayco Precept, a small Class A. I was at the service desk while they were checking in and heard the wife say that “Nothing worked.” They’re parked at the other end of the row from us, so maybe we’ll stop off and introduce ourselves tomorrow.
