There are parking spots, but they're numbered, I don't just drive up to a place and park in numbered parking so I pulled up next to the house.
The son, was nice enough until Sheri asked him if we could use the hot tub and sauna mentioning that she was at a place in Capitola that lets everyone use all the facilities. He kinda got disgruntled and physically pointed in the rules that I was reading, while also mumbling something.
