THE HONEYMOONERS

California is sweet.

Used to drink the hater-ade with all the Hollywood sham, but there’s really no reason to hate. Its easy on the eyes, has a great tempo and is uber progressive in promoting the environment and a healthy lifestyle.

From LA, we dropped down to San Diego to hang with great friends Ben & Eva. They were kind enough to pick us up from our RV Park and bring us back to their crib for a home cooked meal while we watched another home cooked meal when the Heat cooked the Celts at home in Game 1.

San Diego was just the second place where we stayed two nights at the same RV Park, behind Sante Fe. Knowing we’re going to be somewhere for two nights is like signing a year’s lease. We do some laundry, put the dishes away, make the bed and kick back. On the second night in San Diego we actually made our first fire, which was delayed because of all the “no-fire” rules everywhere else we had been. Smores nonetheless.

While San Diego and its suburbs have so much to offer, we only got to visit the Zoo before we unhooked and hit the road for Anaheim. After a quick, but expensive stop at Target where we got Amanda a new bike and whatever else we got, we arrived just in time for the parade at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland!

San Diego Zoo into Disneyland, back to back. Time to slow down.

Found just the right speed the next day in Santa Barbara where we pulled up to the beach mid-afternoon, cracked the windows and regrouped. Mommy took it easy inside the house car, Riley watched a movie, Linko took a nap on our bed and Daddy rode his bike to a spontaneous massage to treat a really annoying pulled muscle underneath the ribcage.

We’ve now landed in Big Sur after driving the house car up the PCH, an experience that we were so excited for and are now so excited is over. Stunning, absolutely stunning, but not without trepidation especially for the driver.

The tight, windy roads offer America’s best visual example of the powerful combination of land and sea. I’ve never seen so many shades of white as we were above the clouds, which blended into the fog then back again with the sun casting masses of white-light onto the water. Sometimes as high as 400 feet above sea level, driving the coastline really was a cliffhanger.

Anyway, two nights here in Big Sur, a stop at Monterey’s famed aquarium and then off to San Francisco and wine country.

Balltown friends and family – hope the weather turned out ok and please watch out for those trying to eat your heart and brain – WTF!?!

And our biggest congrats and love to Hope and Danny in the 305 on the birth of their 2^nd baby girl, Simone Heart.
