The trip from Oceanside to San Diego is really more of a blip. A hop. 30 miles at the most, during which time a whole lot of nothing happened. The weather was kind of meh and grey but it wasn’t too cold, which is a big gold star in my book. Eli drove the first stretch, giving his parental units the opportunity to torture, harangue, pester and generally act as embarrassing as possible for a teenage boy. This is our favorite pastime. Life is good.

The long-suffering kid

Hiding out from the crazy people

Pt. Loma Lighthouse

We saw a lot of crazy aircraft in Southern California

And a blimp

Coming past the point

A little more

And the city begins

Navy ship on the horizon

More eyes in the sky

Navy helicopters off Mexico's Coronado Islands

The Grand Venus was coming out as we were going in

There's people up there

And it just keeps going

Nala's trying to make friends

With these guys

What a pretty city

Ruins of an old breakwater

Checking in @ the public docks
