Day 21 - May 21, 2008

We declared a day of rest today. We caught up on our internet business and then took our 35 minute walk along the Pacific ocean. Then we set up our lawn chairs, books and wine along the awesome Pacific Ocean and just enjoyed!!!

Day 65 - MY 20, 2008

Today was a major travel day from San Diego to Point Mugu. Along the way we had an appointment for an oil change in Encido. Frank was a true master to conquer the LA traffic. This was like Atlanta times 10. The trip was worth it when you see the view below.

Day 64 - May 19, 2008

Today we went to the very ritzy La Jolla. This was an extremely special place. Real estate here seems to start at 2 mil. We had a fantastic lunch and followed a walking tour we purchased from the Historical Society. Then we went on to Cabrillo National Monument. We arrived at 4:30 only to find they closed everything down at 5:00.

We had a luxurious lunch at this restaurant

Incredibly beautiful La Jolla

Day 62 - May 17, 2008

Today we declared a day of rest after our terrible road experience of yesterday. We cleaned the couch in the morning and then sat our buts on Imperial Beach for the afternoon and watched the surfers. These CA beaches are not like Florida - sand has bigger grains and lots of seaweed and kelp. Of course the temperature is very, very different - 64 degrees.

Day 61 - MY 16,2008

Today we drove from Las Vegas to San Diego. We had quite a mishap on the route - of the 3 supports on our passenger side awning, 2 broke due to the wind and the awning was flapping on the side and the roof. Frank had to go on the roof, wrap his legs around the ladder and stabilize it till we could get out of the wind and tear it off. Quite a frightful experience!!

Day 60 - May 15,2008

Today we went to Hoover Dam. We took a tour to the inside of the dam - quite amazing. Then we stopped at an overlook for Lake Mead - the largest man made lake.. Then we went to the strip in LA. What a fantastic experience. Wish we had more time to spent to do more "people watching" and check out all the lobbies of the big hotels. Need to come back here for a "girlie weekend" as you do not have to gamble - it is just just fun to walk around and catch the free shows. What a city of excess!!

We went on a tour of the dam and got to go down lots of tunnels and down into the dam - quite amazing.
