Back to Motor Home Sweet Home

We had a great weekend, even though the weather was droopy and cold the whole time. Internet service wasn't very good. I am convinced my favorite place is on the beach in the early mornings, but would even be better if it was sunny and warm!
We left Chula Vista and meandered slowly up the 101..Pacific Coast Highway on Friday after looking at several RV Resorts where we will be spending a month or so in April. Some by San Diego Bay and others on up the coast in Oceanside. Upon checking into our hotel, I discovered that our room was pretty small, so as an old Hotel lady, and since it was DH's birthday weekend, I traded our room up for a suite! Awesome. We spent some time in the afternoon exploring the area and looking at the ocean. The rain started and we went for supper not far from the hotel.
Saturday we met up with Drag Race Girl and her two awesome Aussies...Blue Merle Brodie Jae and the new puppy, 11 week old red Bentley James.
Her favorite thing to do when she's not racing cars, is to spend quality time with her dogs. We spent most of the day exercising the dogs on the beach and at a dog park....and then the rain came again. DH had Steak and Lobster at the Claim Jumper Restaurant in Carlsbad for his birthday supper.?
Sunday we walked on the beach early in the morning, I had to test the water. Oh yes, and did I mention the rain was coming?
Then we drove up to Newport Beach and hung out in my Fantasy Land for a while, driving around and looking at the Bentley, Farrari and Porsche Dealerships,
the Yacht Clubs and Fantastic Houses.
We had a fantastic lunch at Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant, and then watched the boats in the ocean and the dogs some more. Fog was rolling in about dark, and I made it back down the five in more rain. It was sad to leave such a fantastic place today. We truly enjoy it out there and visiting with friends.
There will always be something new to discover and explore when we return there the next time in about another month. Bought a lottery ticket on the way out, so there's our chance at owning one of the many Oceanside Properties for sale. The rain came down as we made our way back across the mountains today.
It looks like we had quite a bit of rain here too. We got to Yuma and the sun felt really good. It was 74 degrees. Now I'll need a couple days to play catch up. I'm pretty tired from all the 5 lane traffic driving and rain. I will post more pics tomorrow....it's night night time!
