Visiting and on to San Diego

Okay this one is for Aunt Theresa!! Almost all of your nieces and nephews in one picture! We went to church with the Cross family and then spent the afternoon having lunch and letting the kids play. They all had a great time together.

Later in the afternoon we met up with Joe and Jenn and kids and we all headed for San Diego. We decided to just get a couple hours down the road then get going in the morning for the rest of the trip. It was only a six hour drive, but we needed time in the daylight in San Diego to figure out where we were going to stay and we didn't really want to try to navigate the city in the dark. Just before Yuma we pulled over in a truck stop and slept with all the noisy trucks driving by on the Interstate. Amazingly we slept fairly well and got up rested and ready for a new day of adventure!


We arrived in San Diego mid-day and headed for our campsite on the beach. It was rather cold and windy but our kids enjoyed running on the beach and collecting a few shells. When we made the reservations for this campground though we did not realize that it did not have any facilities for water or pumping. We tend to run out of water and fill our tanks really fast with eight of us in the motor home! So despite the beauty of the beach we started looking for another place to stay for our week in San Diego. We found a great family friendly place called La Pacifica(only 3 miles from the Mexico border)...came with full hook-up, heated pool, and much more. After our busy day we were all ready to find a place to rest and be ready for our busy week ahead of us.
