Nothing to blog about today.  We just took it easy and hung out around the park here.  No plans for tomorrow, but we’ll see what happens.

Rain!  Something we haven’t seen much of in a while.  It didn’t last long and didn’t amount to much but we stayed in and spent most of the day inside reading, cooking (and eating), watching TV, and some computer time. … Continue reading →

We’re still in Riverside, and plan to stick around until Friday.  This morning we went to find the Parent Navel Orange Tree.  Every navel orange grown in California is a descendant of this tree.  We found it on the corner … Continue reading →

We went to San Bernardino today to check out the casino there and see if they had free RV parking for us and to spend the $20 in slot play coupons we got from the California Visitor Center.  We didn’t … Continue reading →

We learned that there is a California Welcome Center in San Bernardino which is only 10 miles north of where we are here in Riverside, so that’s where we went this morning.  We left with a bag full of brochures … Continue reading →

We moved today to Rancho Jurupa Park in Riverside, California.  It does belong to the Passport America network, but that discount is not valid over the weekend.  There are two campgrounds within the park.  We chose the cheaper one for … Continue reading →

What started as a foggy morning turned into another beautiful day.  There is a big unusual looking white house high upon a hill overlooking the town and the lake.  We were curious about it so we drove up narrow windy … Continue reading →

I don’t cook steel cut oats for breakfast very often while we are RVing because they take so long to cook. But today we had no plans and didn’t need to use our own propane since we have electricity here … Continue reading →

To the south of us is the town of Temecula, we decided to go visit it today.  Temecula Valley is Southern California’s wine country.  But we did not visit any wineries.  There are just too many and we’ve seen wineries … Continue reading →

We walked around the RV park this morning.  It’s on a small lake, and this is the view. Lake Park RV Resort Lawn Mowing in January, cool. We went exploring today to see what is in the area.  We found … Continue reading →

One more walk along the beach this morning before deciding what to do and where to go today.  While we do like it right where we are it is a little more expensive than we want to pay as well … Continue reading →

We drove about 30 minutes up the coast this morning.  The beach goes on and on.  I swear everyone is out this Saturday morning, walking, jogging, biking, and surfing, or playing beach volleyball, except us.  Well we were leisurely walking, … Continue reading →

Our discount period has ended at Mission Bay RV Park in San Diego, so we decided to move on up the shore.  San Diego is awesome, I’m looking forward to being there again. We didn’t go far, maybe only 25 … Continue reading →

 What a beautiful day!  We went to Balboa park in San Diego.  This is a fantastic park!  There is so much to see and do, I can’t get it all in this blog.  This was the site of the 1915 … Continue reading →

We went to the San Diego Zoo today.  What a nice zoo.  It didn’t really seem any bigger than the Minnesota Zoo but it crammed more to see and do in that space.  It is almost 100 years old. Gorilla … Continue reading →

We went for another walk on the beach this morning.  The surf is still up although it is not a windy day.  Mostly seaweed is washing up on shore, but we did find this piece of plywood that looks like … Continue reading →

Cloudy and gloomy this morning.  We walked on the beach for a while anyway and then decided to go explore San Diego. The Pacific Ocean This Morning  We have taken Old Town Trolley Tours in other cities we have been … Continue reading →

Marble Just Hanging Out The wind let up over night so we left the Walmart parking lot this morning and continued on west.  If it wasn’t for the beautiful mountain views the desert would be horrible to cross. Desert Mountains … Continue reading →

Sunrise  We were greeted by a beautiful sunrise this morning.  A rare thing here, as there are not often clouds around.  Then we went into the Casino that owns the parking lot we had been staying in the last two … Continue reading →

Today we stood on the Official Center of the World!!  It is located just west of the Arizona/California border on Interstate 8.  Frenchman Jacques-Andre Istel somehow convinced Imperial County, California, to legally recognize a spot on his property as the official … Continue reading →
