WE DID THE BEACH THING!!


Last year my California-bred husband craved beach time so much that he went by himself and slept in the back of the Van like a regular beach bumb. This year I decided to be more supportive and join him. (I am a lake, streams and mountains girl).

We traded our normal timeshare winter dates in San Clemente for the favorable September weather. Becky and Audrey spent the week with us and Charles joined us after classes and work on Friday. Victor came away from the experience as brown as a milk chocolate Hershey's bar. Even with caution I came away with my normal flaming red weirdo sunburn. We also went to Palomar Observatory, the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, the mountain town of Julian, the Los Angeles Zoo and Trader Joes. (You may think that last one isn't such a tourist draw but the Austins can't party without 6 kinds of cheese and 19 kinds of chocolate!)

sounds like you did the california thing and beach. I love the mountains but I also love the beach and the ocean. They both have a smell all of their own. I love the way they smell. You said you went to the Palomar Observatory. That is real close to us, is there anything to see there.
