Blogs from San Diego, California, United States, North America - page 68

Hello from Sunny Southern California!! Well the trip from LA to San Diego was kinda crazy. Los Angeles is freakin huge! It took us most of the day to get from the Aglago (silverlake) house, to Long Beach. Not the prettiest of riding, stip malls and urban spawl... but once we got to Orange County, it got a little nicer. We also did not make it to Camp Pendelton Marine Corps base in time to ride through. You can only ride bikes on the base from 9:30am to 3:30 pm and nowhere to camp nearby. Lucky for us Garby and Maureen were waiting for us at Brian, Roth and Ackers house in Oceanside, about 10 miles south of Pendelton. So Garby drove up and got us. And we spent the evening catching up with these kids ... read more

Hej igen Efter en lille pause i Blog'eriet er vi tilbage igen med lidt om vores oplevelser - denne gang fra San Diego. Vi har alle haft brug for at flade lidt ud og bare ikke lave noget, så de sidste 4 dage har vi sovet længe og slappet mere af end de første 14 dage af turen. Efter vi ankom fik Mads og Emil lidt afløb for den indestængte energi de havde opbygget, og fik kastet lidt med den "American football" de har fået. De er efterhånden ret skrappe til både at få den til at svæve rigtigt og gribe, hvilket ikke er så nemt som man skulle tro (jeg taler af erfaring!). Aftenens måltid indtog vi på "Tony Roma's", lige overfor hotellet, som havde forsynet os med nogle rabatkuponer, der gav os "Free Appetizers" ... read more

The end of our do-a-whole-lot-of-nada week is tomorrow morning, so we'll be heading toward Arizona next. While we were here we got to hang out with a lot of friends, sit around our campfire, barbeque a lot, and we even went up to Universal Studios. Echo had a day at the dog beach, and Rummy had fun trying to sit on top of any games we tried to play on the kitchen table. Overall, it was a nice week, but we're both ready for our vacation from our vacation to end. Hopefully now the weather will start to get better, and once we get back up into higher elevations in a week or two we'll have a much better time. Fingers crossed that we won't find any more snow, or threats of freezing pipes! ... read more

Oceanside Well, we're back in Oceanside, where we lived before we moved all of our stuff up to Washington. We spent the day playing with Echo, running errands, and Danielle was reading. It's an official week of relaxation as we wait for warmer temperatures in Yosemite, the Sierras/Nevada, the Grand Canyon, The Utah Nat'l parks, and Colorado. The new plan is to spend a week here on the lake and ocean on Camp Pendleton, simply relaxing and not driving anywhere. Then we'll head east to Arizona and spend some time there, in Tucson and up to Flagstaff. Then we'll attack the Grand Canyon and all those other places as the weather becomes more camping-friendly. So, lazy days, not many pictures except those of us chilling out! Lots of love to everyone, hope you're all doing well! ... read more

So I've decided to start this travel blog thing to keep everyone posted on my stay in Spain and travels around Europe. I will be leaving 10 days after my 21st birthday (August 17) and I am so excited for a crazy/amazing/educating/once-in-a-life-time opportunity to study/live in Madrid, Spain. ... read more
