Highlight Day....Danny Surfs First Wave

This was my favorite day at the bay. Danny caught his first stand up wave. He just went out there and did it. His way. All those years of prepping, training and gently pushing were gone. He just went out there and did it and knew he could do it. He surfed for 5 hours that day. Am I dreaming?

San Juanico BCS

Every day we woke up, made coffee, and headed to the beach. This is what seemed right. We stayed there until the sun made it's nightly escape. All day in the sun burned everyone but the white guy (Jon). Jon was busy applying aloe vera and lidocaine.

Usually as the sun set we went for a drive -- into town for ice, chips, beverages. This night we cruised thru camp, and surveyed the 7 points that make up "Scorpion Bay/Punta Pequena". We thew the kids in the back of the truck and let them bounce over every bump and ditch. It's not often kids get to ride in the back of trucks these days.

Scorpion Bay (San Juanico, BCS)

Here we are on the final night. Time to burn all the fire wood and take it easy by eating at the cantina. Good food for being in the middle of nowhere. The next morning Jon packed the truck after killing 3 scorpions that were camped under our tent. Sorry.....no rights for things that can kill you when so far away from Kaiser.

Scorpion to Loreto Santa Rosalia to Catavina

Stayed at El Dorado Hotel in Loreto. Nice hotel. Met a US guy who is in town repairing fibreoptics that hurrican Juan wrecked last year. Went to eat at local favorite restaraunt -- great!!! Sunset was epic.

Last Day!!!!

Last Day.....Left Catavina and upon arriving in San Quentin saw the second car accident, this time involving an 18 wheel Mexican big rig and a van. No injuries - amazing. Then we headed for Ensenada and took the road towards Tecate. We waited 4 hours in the border line. Guessing it was due to all the Mexicans coming to Mexico to vote (election day) then returning back to the beautiful US. It was nice to be back home. Never take for granted the tremendous road system we have here in the states. Lines, reflectors, shoulders -- amazing!

Danny's 8th Bday!!!

Only one picture of the whole party!!! At least 30 people showed up. We were having such a great time we forgot to take pictures.

Padres game with Mike and Tara

We went to a Padre game with good friends Mike and Tara (Skyler's parents). It was a great night out with no kids. We ate dinner in the Gaslamp prior to the game. As usual when I attend a Padre game - they lost.
