There...and getting here!

Window washers on Harbor Drive...

 Joe and I have arrived safe and sound in Las Vegas. We left San Diego Wednesday mid-morning. I had a few pictures I never posted so am doing so now...
Mission Bay Park...quite lovely...

...new friends Duke (the great dane) and Jake (the lab) with Nancy and Marty from Portland...
...lots and lots of shell art! Pretty neat...



...another new buddy, Otto...

...Jack snoozing. His spherical object is in the bag...we cant say the "b"word!...

...trimming nails...ALL 72 of them!...


...and new neighbors who moved in the week before we left!


No...its not puppy prison...just looks that way.We travel with a pet fence so our pups can enjoy being outside with us. By the way, thanks Mary Ellen for the water gun idea. It sure comes in handy (when the pups, well Sally, get too excited) and so many folks have asked us about it...


Does anyone recognize these tiles? We had to go here before we left San Diego...

Last night, we stayed at Barstow/Calico KOA. Boy were we surprised to wake up to snow this morning. When we arrived yesterday, this mountain behind the park was not covered in snow...first real snow we have seen this winter...it is pretty!




 The ride from Barstow to Vegas was only 160 miles or so. It was rainy, windy, and yes cold and snowy for part of the trip.
Made a stop for the pups at the rest area...

Duh?...would you ride in this?

Dover is in her favorite spot.
First trip to Vegas...


All settled in site 7422...
One sweet boy!

Did you guess? The tiles were from here!


BURRRRR!

Here we are...it should be warming up tomorrow to the mid 60s and sunny and even warmer next week...low 80s. We have several things we want to do...thanks Pam!

Thanks for stopping by good-times-rollin.  We love this blogging thing....thank you Ruth!

Take care everyone. Until next post, be safe and enjoy.

La Jolla

La Jolla (pronounced la hoy-a) is a hilly seaside community within the northern city limits of San Diego. It is 7 miles of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean.
In 2008 and 2009 La Jolla had the highest priced homes in the nation.The average price of a four-bedroom home was reported as $1.842 milion in '08 and $ 2.125 milliom in '09. I dont think we will be choosing to settle down here.
 
Early Native Americans, the Kumeyaay, called this location "land of holes". It is uncertain why, but it could be the sea -level caves on the bluffs. Later, Spanish occupiers, referred to the area as La Joya meaning "the jewel".
 
 This is Bird Rock. It is home to many birds and visited often by birders and visitors.
