We left Chula Vista RV Resort at about 1:15, hoping to arrive at Crystal Cove State Park, El Moro Campground, at 3:00, which is check-in time. We drove north on the 5, the 15, the 805, and the 5 again, finally exiting at the 1 in San Clemente. We then drove north on Pacific Coast Highway for 12 miles, passing through Dana Point, Monarch Beach, Laguna Niquel, South Laguna, and Laguna Beach. Naturally, on a Sunday afternoon, with great sunny weather, Laguna Beach was packed, but the drive was wonderful, despite towing The Villa through the crowded, narrow highway…
We arrived safely, checked in, parked, and were set up by 4:00. Then we hit the beach. We haven’t been here since March… Before we moved to Redlands we walked this beach two-three times per week…
The beach was lovely, the tide was low, and the weather was warm… Sunset was even nicer!
Today is the last day of “Restaurant Week” in Newport Beach, so we broke form and went out to dinner. We went to Pescadou, a great French restaurant on Balboa peninsula. We haven’t been here in several years and it was great to see Jacques again…
Monday morning found us walking the beach again…
After a day of relaxing and puzzling we again had our Happy Hours as the sun set…
Tuesday morning we were treated to breakfast by our Airstream friends; a day of relaxing and puzzling ensued…
Tuesday evening we again ventured outside the RV Park, going to Fashion Island to watch a big screen showing of “The Wizard of Oz”. Much fun…
Wednesday was pure relaxation. Walk along the beach, a stop at Starbucks, puzzling, movies on TV, and more relaxation. 4:00 brought Happy Hours…
Thursday brought the rain. We packed up and headed for home…
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
