Day 12 – 13: Loving San Diego area

We left the RV Park in Anaheim on Feb.12th and took a drive to Huntington Beach.  Trevor got his bike out and road along the ocean path while the kids and I played in the sand and walked the pier.  We spent the night in a state park between LA and San Diego.  It was nothing fancy or exciting and really expensive because it is close to the beach.  Most beach sites are $60 for full hook-up.  We were able to get this site for $35 (no hook-ups).  Expensive considering you still had to pay to have a shower.  The following morning I went for a run to the ocean.  There was a steady stream of walkers and bikers with surf-boards in tow.  When I got to the beach at 8:30am it was already teaming with men in black (wetsuits).  From LA to San Diego there were numerous beaches all filled with surfers.  From a distance, all you see along the shores are bobbing black dots (surfers). 

We arrived in San Diego on Feb. 13th and found a nice RV park to stay in for a couple nights. Once again it was expensive, priced at $50 (partial hook-up).  We stayed for 2 nights as it we were all enjoying San Diego and the RV park had a pool and playground for the kids.   Last night they had live music which the 4 of us danced a few songs to last night.  Today the weather was 22 degrees and we had a great day in the sun.  The kids biked along a path around   Mission Bay to the open ocean, while Trev and I ran.  It was a great workout as we were able to run for about an hour & half.  Unlike other states, people in this area were noticeably super fit.  The path was busy with roller bladders, runners and bikers, while the bay was filled with sail boats, rowing shells and kayaks.  Just a few days ago while at Disney I was thinking I could afford to eat a few extra donuts but after seeing all the buff bodies here I feel like a jelly roll!  The kids are super tired from the sun, biking and pool!  Tomorrow we will head in the direction of Tucson, Arizona!   It is about a 7 hour drive west, plus you loose an hour due to the time change.  Our goal is to get just past Yuma, which borders California, Arizona and Mexico.  This should be about 3.5hours drive.
