Day 45

Tim made a delicious breakfast of mango coconut pancakes onto which I poured Saskatoon syrup. It was great! We took a walk around Campland and decided to rent some bikes. We drove all around Mission Bay and stopped near the beach for lunch. We had a wonderful ride and when we got back to the campground we changed into our swimsuits and headed for the pool. After a swim we strolled over to the hot tub for a nice soak. Enjoyed our time relaxing after our three hour bike ride, and visited with a nice couple in the hot tub.

Made some roast beef for supper, did laundry and just relaxed. Planning to head towards the Palm Springs area tomorrow.

Day 44

Spent the day at the San Diego Zoo. It was great, a very large zoo and for most it you feel like you are in a tropical forest. Tim was able to see many things that he missed when he went with the boys. There were many amimals, bugs, snakes, etc., if you want to know more you can check them out online.

Bought some groceries and make steak and potatoes for supper. Yumm. Planning once again for what to do or where to go next.

Ever grateful for God's beautiful creation.

Day 43

Spent the night in a Love's parking lot. Headed out on interstate #5 going south. Very different than the CA1. Passed many more fields of almond trees and a few feed lots, those were not so pleasant. We drove over the Tejon Pass at 4144' and made it nicely through LA, the freeways were not nearly as busy as they had been over Christmas.

Made it safely to Campland on the Bay, a nice campground on Misson Bay. Planning to visit the San Diego Zoo tomorrow.

Day 42

Sun shining again. God is good. Had our breakfast and packed up and drove a short way to Muir Monument park to walk among the huge redwood trees. The first part of the path is a board walk and then well packed dirt. It was absolutely beautiful walk enjoying the trees, the ferns, the little creek and the silence. Windy narrow road to get here and little for RV parking but since we arrived early we were able to park in the first parking lot. If you come to San Francisco you need to come here and check it out. We loved it.

Then, we headed out on the highway once again. This time heading for San Diego, planning to stop on the way for night. Stopped at a In and Out restaurant because we had two people tell us it was really good. Well not sure what they tasted cause it was just OK. They had a very limited menu - three hamburgers, a plain single, a cheese single and a double cheese, one size of fries and pop, also coffee. We will not be eating at one of these establishments again.

Planning our day for tomorrow. Looking forward to another day. It has been wonderful being able to spend all day, every day with Tim my very best friend and to enjoy God's amazing handiwork. The terrain that we have seen is all over the board. Today, for example, we walked through large redwood trees and then drove past hundreds of acres of almond trees with a few orange trees thrown in and even a field of grapes. At least now I know where the almonds for my almond milk comes from. We are missing our friends but are grateful for wifi, FB and Twitter.

Day 41

Woke to the sun shining once again, which apparently is unusual for this time of year. They are needing rain but have not had much. After breakfast we walked over to the Larkspur ferry terminal to catch our ride to San Francisco. The Ferry Terminal was very nice with many nice shops carrying local wares. We walked over to catch another ferry to Alcatraz Island. Our tour of the Island was informative and interesting. Catching another ferry back we then walked over to Pier 39 where there are many restaurants and shops. Had lunch and then did some shopping. We both had one of those water massages, where you keep your clothes on and the water massages you with a protection of plastic to keep from getting wet. It felt good to lie there and relax, it could have been much longer though.

We walked along the pier and headed for the crookested street (look it up on the net). It was a steep walk to get there and the street was very steep and crooked. It was neat to see and I could imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer with the flowers blooming. Continued our walk heading back to the ferry terminal. Had a small bowl of soup for supper, bought a book and headed back to Larkspur on the ferry. Planned our day for tomorrow and headed off to dreamland. Our legs and feet are a bit sore from all the walking but we will recover.

Day 40

Slept in so that we could go to church this morning, and we still got there a half hour early as they only started at 11 am. We attended the Calvary Baptist Church, a conservative baptist church. We sang one chorus and three hymns, which we knew and the message was good. The assistant pastor preached on our created purpose, to serve God. We are only truly happy when we are serving God and we will continue to serve Him in heaven.

Had lunch at KFC, Tim's choice and we were given the seniors discount because we had to wait almost 20 minutes for our chicken. After lunch we headed for San Fransico and located an RV park in Larkspur called Marin Park. Made a good supper and enjoyed it thoroughly. They had wifi so we could plan our day tomorrow. Feels good to be able to make a plan. Even made some jiffy pop popcorn. Yumm. Looking forward to our day.

Day 39

Woke up to the view of the large redwood trees and the sounds of the Big Sur River which was right next to our camper. Took a walk around the campground and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the smell of the pines. Ate breakfast and headed back on the road.

The views were beautiful and I was still finding the windy roads a little too windy and up and down. Took some gravoll and tried to think positive which was difficult but I tried my best. The views were amazing! We drove up towards Monterey and took the 17 mile drive and had lunch next to the Pebble Beach golf course. Did not realize that this area was full of residential homes. You too could live here if you had between 1-10 million dollars. For me, I have no desire to live anywhere near these narrow windy roads.

Next destination was the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It took a little while to find a place to park the RV but once found a spot we walked over to the aquarium. There was many things to see and enjoy and I especially enjoyed the jelly fish. We enjoyed supper at Henry's cafe with beef tips and pork. We headed north and found a place to stay at Marina Dunes Beach Resort. Thankfully they had wifi so I could get caught up.

We had been enjoying our adventure as each day is different and there is so much to see.
