Our final days in Newport Beach....

Our RV Park was Insane!

This was a really nice location, close to the coast and advertised as a “beach front RV Resort”…..but it was crazy expensive (don’t ask), narrow roads, 2 kids camps on site, tons of pick up trucks, kids on bikes everywhere….it was so scary to park.

San Juan Capistrano Mission

This is a beautiful Spanish Mission (one of 21 in the state of California). The missions were part of Spanish Expeditions along the El Camino Real (The Royal Road) from San Diego to Sonoma.
As a side note: San Juan Capistrano is also famous for the return of the swallows each year but we didn’t see a single one. My parents took us kids to visit the mission years ago and there were all these pigeons that swarmed us (I think we were told they were swallows). My sister Susan is still afraid of pigeon!

Beautiful Beaches!

There was a marine layer (or this fog) each day and this kept the sun away the temps cool.. This was just fine for 2 people escaping the AZ heat!.

LA Area Traffic….YIKES!

Bob was so frustrated with the GPS when it kept saying stay in the lanes, 2 from the right (or one from the right, or 3 from the left) then the lanes would disappear and we would be in the wrong lane of 7 or eight lanes. I’m just glad he was driving!
