California or Bust

 This summer Will and I took a motorcycle trip to California.  We stayed in Encinitas. It's a really cute little town with lots of charm.  We stayed in the bottom floor of a house just a couple of blocks from the beach. It was so much fun. We got there on Sunday and went to church, then drove down highway 101 for the rest of the day.  We walked for miles on the beach every morning and collected shells. Will learned how to surf and practiced every day. I boogie boarded which is my all time favorite sport and if I lived in California I would do it EVERY DAY!  I may actually need that much practice because I broke my ribs. I think I figured out how though so next time it won't happen.
 We went to a Dodger's game at Dodger  Stadium.  We got really good seats and sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame with the the entire stadium and that was Amazing! Will had a hot dog and we watched the most patriotic and huge fireworks show I've ever seen from sitting on the outfield. It was on Will's bucket list and so much fun!  We went to Sea World and toured the USS MIDWAY. It was huge! I love history.  I saw it once in Hawaii, but it was active then so you couldn't go on it.  We ate at Anthony's Seafood 2 nights in a row because they have the World's best clam chowder and coconut shrimp. If I lived there I'd buy stock in it!
I took as many pics of me and the vw busses as we could get. Will still has some on his phone. I've decided to collect them because that is my dream car!
On the way home we stopped at THE MAD GREEK in Baker.  They claim to have the world's best Gyro's according to Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives.  They were Really Good, but I'm not sure about the world's best.  I think crown burger is just a little bit better.  It was about 9 when we got there and had been riding in 110 degrees for about 2 hours. It was airconditioned and yummy!  We are planning one more motorcycle trip in Sept. What can we say?  We're hooked!
