We left Pilot Knob early this morning and headed towards San Diego, well Descanso anyway; we wanted to get an early start so we could get the trailer sorted and then head to Del Mar to get our mail so off we went. The drive was ok, a little windy and dusty again but nothing to extreme, and nothing Serena couldn’t handle. It was mostly freeway driving along the 8 till we got to Descanso then the fun started. We drove along an ok road for about 5 miles then we came to a sign at the junction we had to trun on advising that the road was unsuitable for RV’s. Well what we were going to do actually I was ready to turn around and find someplace else, but Mike just turned onto the road as if the sign wasn’t there, typical. It was a little steep and a lot windy, and I’m glad we have a teeny tiny trailer, although it’s probably going to take a while for my nails to grow back.
When we got to the park we couldn’t make the turn into the driveway (the brochure had warned us about this) so we had to drive another 2 miles along the steep windy road to a parking lot to turn around, and then another two miles back to the park entrance – fun!
After getting checked in we went looking for a space. There are a number of them in this park but of the ones that I wanted to attempt getting into there were about 4. The park is on a hillside and most of the spaces are in the steepest weirdest places possible; I had to get out of the truck and walk to the space and let Mike drive round the park by himself. The space we finally settled on is nestled in against the trees so we will have some shelter from the weather for the few days we are here. It was really cold and windy when we were setting up, even though it was mid morning and the sun was shining. The wind is pretty raw and it’s supposed to be unchanged for the whole time we are here.

Mike: Becc, I'm trying to keep your life exiting!



This afternoon we headed into Del Mar and it was so good to see the sea again; it looks beautiful as you drive down over Del Mar Heights and down into the city proper. We managed to pick up our mail without any problems, amazingly we parked straight away. Then we headed to Habaneros and at long last had lovely potato tacos. If there’s one thing I’ve missed about being in San Diego it’s Habaneros tacos – not healthy but absolutely delicious!
After stuffing our faces we made a stop at work and got to catch up with everyone there; it was really good to see them after so long. Everyone that we saw was fine, and it was like we’d never been away as nothing has changed. We got hugs from everyone and kisses from Cassie and Sierra and had a lovely long catch up.
