Play Day at the Beach

San Diego Metro KOA
Chula Vista, CA
January 15, 2015

Looking left you see the historic Hotel del Coronado...


and looking right you see the hilly peninsula known as Point Loma...


and in between you will see happy puppies flying over a wonderful stretch of sandy beach. 

This is Cooper...he belongs to Ronnie and Carol who we have the great pleasure of living next door to for the next couple of weeks!
  Our destination for the day was the Coronado Doggie Beach. Joe, myself and Dover were invited to join The Bledsoe's for a puppy play day. The doggie beach area is at the most northern end of the beach. It is wide and sandy and today the waves were rolling in. With highs in the mid 70s and not much of a breeze it turned out to be the perfect puppy play day.






 To get to the beach you have to walk along a path lined with Iceplant. This very unique plant is found along the California coast under 500 feet in elevation. Iceplant was brought to California from South Africa to stop erosion along railroad tracks in the early 1900s.











We had a couple of very happy and worn out pups when we headed home. What a wonderful first day in sunny SoCal.

So, until next time, take care and...

happy trails!

      Isn't that just the truth George! But boy when the crash, the really crash! Hope to get all the other pups to the beach too. One at the time is very manageable!

      This is only my second visit here Jeri...I fell in love with it year before last. After Joe was cleared by the doctor, he asked me where I wanted to go and I didn't hesitate.

    WooHoo! You made it! Please do a post on the campground you are staying at Gay, as San Diego has been on my radar for a long time. Also, thanks for informing us about the dog beach. Tucker will be pleased. Enjoy your stay!

      I sure will Gayle! It's a beautiful KOA so I will get lots of pictures. The same family has owned it for about 30 years.

      All three of you will love the doggie beach...we were told not to go on the week-end...way to crowded with locals. Yesterday was perfect, hardly anyone there!

    I'm curious to know about the KOA, having never stayed there or visited it before. It's further from the family and friends we visit in SD, but it's always good to have options in your back pocket!

    Isn't that wonderful, from the desert to the ocean! And you are in one of the coolest city in CA.
    Enjoy and enjoy the sun!

      Hey MonaLisa...it is wonderful to live wherever you want to, isn't it? One of the great things about this full-time RVing life style we choose. Can't wait to get out and explore! I have a list...

    Nothing is better than San Diego in January. I miss the ten years I lived 30 miles up the coast on the beach in Carlsbad.

    I loved seeing your beach pictures and am very jealous of the temps. The pups looked like they had a ball and know sunny California will be good for you all! Can't wait to see more!
