We ended up camping at the San Mateo Campground in San Onofre during New Year’s week for 5 nights. If I had to rate this campground, I would probably give it just an average score. We haven’t been to too many sites so far with the Mali Mish Airstream but Catalina State Park in Tuscon, The Shady Dell in Bisbee and El Capitan State Beach just outside of Santa Barbara are still my top three campgrounds so far. And if these are my references, San Mateo is just “alright”.

Hey Ava? I think it is time for ‘the talk’. Okay?

Ummm, I guess so??

So this is how you wax a surfboard. Pay attention. Wax on. Wax off.

Thanks Daniel-son.

Bye Dada. Be safe.

Catch that one Dada. It looks totally tubular, dude!

Just another day at San Onofre State Beach.

These two might be long gone from the famous prison…

But not these poor folks.

ATTENTION! THIS JUST IN!! These three inmates have just escaped from prison. They were last seen heading west toward California. Possibly to San Onofre. The oldest one can’t resist ocean swells and there is supposed be a huge one heading that way. If you have any information, please leave a comment so we can find these armed and dangerous traveling outlaws!!!

Oh. It’s almost over. The road trip is almost over. Whoa is me. It’s almost back to the daily grind. And how fitting is our final stop? Yuma Territorial Prison. I love the way the three of us are smiling in this picture. What? You don’t see me? I’m that ball and chain next to Dan. Haha. I’m sure getting funnier in my old age.
