Six Months of Waiting

We made our reservations 6 months ago and have been counting down the days until we could go on our vacation to California.

We left after the Fun Run and drove to Mesquite. We parked in a casino parking lot, and ate at McDonalds (gag!). We were getting ready to go to bed when we noticed out batteries were too low. So we packed it all up and headed over to buy 2 new batteries for our trailer at the local Wal-Mart. Two hundred dollars later and we were back in our parking spot and fast asleep.

The next morning we got up and drove to Barstow. We didn't really need to take 3 days to get there, but since Alex had Friday off we decided to take 3 days instead of 2.

It was nice and warm there, in the 90's... so how in the heck was the swimming pool so COLD!!!???

Oh, how I wish I would have gotten a picture of the look on Ally's face when she jumped in without testing the water first!



Sunday we drove into San Juan Capistrano at Dana Point. We stayed at Doheny State Beach. Oh the beach... every time I go I am determined to never leave!

Sadly this is where my complaining about losing pictures comes in. We bought a new camera, a small point and shoot. I love my big Nikon camera but it is just not practical to carry it hiking or around Disneyland. So during my learning curve I lost a bunch of picures. All of them from the beach. :o(
