Fun in California

We woke to rain Monday morning. Not a good day to explore. We decided to head to one of the casino’s. The choice was made to head to Viejas in Alpine. It is pretty big and even has an outlet mall across the street. No luck for either of us, so the highlight of the trip was a free prime rib buffet. We had fun, and that’s what counts.

Tuesday we got a late start to our day. When we headed out,  the first stop was for lunch at Rubio’s. One of our friends Deb, is from SD and suggested we try it for fish taco’s. Yummy!! Thanks Deb.

Next we headed to Point Loma to see the  Cabrillo National Monument. This is a great place to get pictures of the bay, however it was rather hazy.

On the way out Kevin noticed the Veterans National Cemetary. He thought this would be a neat place for a final resting place, overlooking the ocean.

Today we had a date with old friends who live in Chula Vista..not far from here. We haven’t seen them in several years, so it was great to catch up. They guys went off golfing. Ginnie had a day planned for me sightseeing a bit. We started out at Pacific Beach having lunch…

I had lobster bisque, and it was delicious! Ginnie had lobster benedict and I had a bite, yum…

We sat looking at the ocean, which I love..  Luckily I had my small camera in my purse, however I was very disappointed that I hadn’t brought my big lense camera with me today. I had no idea what the day would bring….

We visited Cabrillo, too, a couple of years ago. The view was breathtaking. Thanks for the reminder!

Love it, love it, love it. All that and Trader Joe's! We'll be seeing you in July, yippee!

Glad you liked the fish tacos. If you want some good "real" Mexican fast food find a Los Panchos.

All of that shore line along La Jolla and on South is just beautiful! We would drive over in the car and just sit along the beach in the parking areas. Ate lunch and fell asleep in the wonderful March sun last year along the beach parking areas. Nice memories! Rod
