Oceanside & Hollywood

We are still trying to do catch up on our blog from the last 2 months. Sorry we've been slackers! Just playing too much to write. The end of Feb after the Families On The Road (FOTR) rally we got to hang with a few of the families for a few more days in Oceanside. The high lights for us were the beautiful beach with gold sparkles...amazing! Watching sea lions and hearing them "bark"! Sitting around the camp fire with good friends and fun jam sessions.

Then we were off to Hollywood, where we met up with other friends. Hollywood....meaning the strip, was not what I was expecting. Crazy, wild, crowded and very touristy....maybe that IS what I should of expected?!? Great people watching and fun street shows! A ton of people are in costume and wanting you to take pictures of them and they expect you to tip them....pretty much they harass you. So if you ever go be prepare to avoid them or bring lots of 1$s.

Joshua Tree, FOTR rally and sk8 parks

So we are trying to catch up on our travels. We are running about 2 months behind. So the next few blogs will be our adventures from the last little while.

We spent a few nights in Joshua Tree National Park. It was a cool area, but a bit sad & stressful for us. Our beloved cat Smokey jumped ship and Burnie (our bus) broke down. We plan to head back someday to enjoy it more!

So thankfully it was beautiful in Joshua Tree and the stars were amazing....cause it was freakin COLD at night, yeah ice on the INSIDE of our windows...that cold! We had no internet or cell reception and we were broke down. Some way nice guy camped across from us and came to our rescue....Matt you are the BEST!!! Thanks again!

Lincoln finally pulled out this tooth that had been lose for a LONG time. Isn't he cute!

The kids really loved the boulders and had a blast hiking and climbing and finding hideouts.

Yeah my kids ROCK!!!

Do you see the face?

Ride the wave!

CRAZY..... LA traffic on the way to the FOTR rally!

We had so much fun at the CA Families On The Road rally! 14 families that travel full time. 40 something kids, art, hooping, making icecream, movies, drumming, guitars by the bonfire, playing on the beach, swimming, riding bikes, making great friends and amazing memories!!!

Dentist, eye exams, & more Mexico we go....

So we missed Mexico so much that we went back. We met up with Steve's Aunt and Uncle and their friends Donna and Doyle. We have heard about cheap dental and Optical. So we decided to go and try it out. We headed to Yuma area of Arizona to stay in the bus out side of the Mexico boarder. We boon docked for a few days and walked into Los Algodones to see the dentist and have our eyes examined. Over all the price was great for not having health insurance and it was great to get local fresh tacos. We were tired of the long lines we had to stand in to cross the boarder back into the States. One night crossing we stood in line for at least 2 1/2 hours. We had a great visit with Steve's Aunt and Uncle and their friends.
