San Diego

From Twenty Nine Palms, we drove west to the Pacific Ocean. We decided to do this leg of our trip without Irv. He doesn't travel well in congested urban areas, and there was no good place for us to park and camp in San Diego, so he gets to spend the week in storage at a KOA in Banning, CA. He deserves a break.

As we drove deeper into Southern California, we saw wind farms, and avocado trees...

and trucks full of fresh oranges.

We stayed at a Holiday Inn right down by Shelter Island, close to the Bay. It was warm and sunny, and we truly felt like we were in San Diego.

The first morning, we had breakfast at the ever popular Old Town Mexican Cafe...

before meandering up the beautiful, sunny coast...

Famous Windansea beach

We went to the Gliderport at Torrey Pines, where dozens of people were sailing through the air.

San Diego is such a magical place. I (Stacy) met up with my friend, Carol Smith, for lunch, then  Jack and I took a long, sunny walk along the Bay.
