It is for times like this, people might be able to understand why it is we do what we do. After leaving Pharr, Texas early Thursday morning, we had made our way to Chula Vista 48 hours later on Saturday morning. We dropped off the 5 boats in a storage yard not more than 100 yards from the San Diego Bay. With not having to be in Wilmington, California until Monday morning we had the entire weekend to enjoy this area. We were told of a location where we might be able to park near the ocean so off we went in search of. We located a great spot right next to the Chula Vista Marina.
We waited awhile to see if anyone would approach us to tell us to move, but it seemed no one cared. We could see the marina and the boats from the front seat of the truck. We put on our walking shoes, grabbed the camera and off we went to explore. Besides the marina and several restaurants, there was a park, pier, and RV park a block away. Quite a few of the RV’s had a clear view of the ocean out their windows. We walked past several men playing a spirited game of horseshoes and found a park bench for us to sit and enjoy the cool ocean breezes and scenery.
Getting up Sunday morning, Craig went to work putting some framework together for the containers we will be picking up and taking to Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday. I took the opportunity to clean and organize the truck. With our morning chores finished we cleaned up and took off on a walk finding an El Torito Restaurant about a mile away and enjoying a very delicious Sunday champagne brunch. The walk back was much needed after indulging just a wee too much. The afternoon was spent enjoying some football while the ocean breeze kept us cool and very relaxed.
We left this area hoping that sometime in the future we would be able to return and enjoy this beautiful spot.

Yep...it's official. I am jealous. Up here it is foggy, misty, and cold. Typical central California fall/winter.
So glad you were able to enjoy it for those of us living vicariously through you!
