NASCAR Weekend, phase III -- Completing the Circle

On to the next stops, San Diego and Yuma, Arizona to visit Dad and Mom!

Here's the new view out the living room window looking out from Coronado toward the bay and San Diego in the background.


We stayed the night at the Naval Base RV park on Coronado and what a deal, Just $12!  Dry camping only, but we were set up for it since we were coming from NASCAR.  There were probably only 10-15 other campers in a 75-100 space park.  Plenty of room to spread out!

Here's Isabel, Enjoying the view of the bay.


Finding oysters on the beach.  I still can't believe she refused to eat it.  I was even going to shuck it for her!


Pickle Plant!  I remember playing with this strange plant in my Grandma's backyard when I was growing up.


On to Yuma.  Here we are celebrating Isabel's 14th birthday with a surprise cake!  Thanks Grandma!

 

Good looking group!


And here's my mom, giving me gift that she found at a garage sale.  This little Jimmie Johnson car actually switches on and runs around a table top in circles.  It's awesome!  Who would ever sell this in a garage sale?


Here we are taking some down time to check out a flea market in Yuma.  You can buy almost anything here. Case in point: I bought two 3' coax cables for our RV, Isabel bought guitar picks, mom bought carpet cleaner, shirts, garden decorations, and we all looked at hats and strollers made just for dogs, weight loss miracle formulas, etc, etc...


Here I am trying on a nice flowery garden hat.  Too bad it was the wrong size.


And here's Dad with his new hat.  He's being very patient here as a favor to his granddaughter as I know he would have rather stuck with the baseball cap!


All in all, it was a great trip!  We had just one more stop to make on the way home in Glendale Arizona.  Here is what we bought...


You'll just have to tune in next time to get the whole story...
