Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
Day 126: Cabela Drive, San Diego, CA Sunny and warm. Maggie and Randy gave us a sampling of some of the San Diego communities. First we drove to Del Mar, an affluent community on the ocean where there is a very nice city park on the beach. Some people were attempting to surf there, but... Continue Reading →
Day 125: Cabela Drive, San Diego, CA Sunny and cool. We hung around Maggie and Randy’s so Tom could get a new crown at the dentist I went to yesterday. Yep, he thought he should also have a cleaning and ended up with a new crown. No regrets - better to fix the problem now... Continue Reading →
Day 124: Cabela Drive, San Diego, CA Sunny and warm. I just spent about four hours at the dentist. All I wanted to do was get a cleaning and have them look at what I felt was a snag on one of my teeth. Well, they had to take all kinds of admittance information, photos,... Continue Reading →

Day 120: CP Farms, Paso Robles, CA Sunny and cooler. We are going to Joshua Tree! I have been to Yosemite, Sequoia and Redwood National Parks before, and have loved them all. I have told people that California is probably my favorite state to visit because of its varied and remarkable natural formations. But if... Continue Reading →
Last night we enjoyed a hospitable stay at CP Farms in Paso Robles. Nick the cat is friendly and made me miss our cat Riikka. This morning we woke up to a fog filled valley. The sun won the day around 9:30 this morning. A special treat Jen made her famous scones. We bought olive... Continue Reading →
