"Dorothy Mantooth Is A Saint"

Anne quickly learned that our lifestyle had changed since we saw her in Orlando!  Instead of staying at a campground with full amenities, we ended up "dry camping" on the city streets of San Diego.  We had every intention of reserving a spot at an RV Park when Anne arrived, but once we found out that San Diego is one of the friendliest cities to park an RV on the street in, we couldn't pull the trigger & Anne couldn't have been more adventurous or open to us only talking in Anchorman quotes while there!

The Hob Nob Hill Restaurant Sign...another Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives recommendation
Since we hit the hay early, we decided to get up for omelettes at this newly renovated spot

The current Cabrillo National Monument Lighthouse
After breakfast & getting lost a few times, we checked out the tidepools, took a
wobbly walk down the natural sandstone steps & saw the Old Point Loma Lighthouse

The Monument is named after Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the explorer who discovered California

The O'Babbitt's nearing the water at Cabrillo National Monument
After we arrived, we found out that it's best to visit in the winter months for lower tides & whale watching

The National Cabrillo Monument
Even though it was June, there was still a ton to do & lots of beauty to take in

The O'Babbitt's at the La Jolla Shores
We tried to visit the La Jolla Coves, but found out the hard way that parking there isn't designed for RVs,
so we settled for dinner at Piatti Ristorante & a sunset stroll before driving to a casino to spend the night
