After pampering ourselves for a week at the Fountain of Youth Spa, we started to make our way to the Pacific Ocean. Again we found ourselves on a secondary highway; one of those twisty, curvy roads; and all of my driving skills were put to the test.
We spent a night in San Matteo; and although we had planned on spending a week in this area; it was really booked up due to Spring break. So we moved on the next day. We drove through places such as Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach; Redondo Beach, Santa Monica. These are places that the Beach Boys sang about for years; and many of us dreamt about. We also drove under LAX, while a plane was landing. That was as close to Los Angeles that we came to. As we avoid most big cities like the plague.
We ended up spending the night in Ventura; and were parked right up to the ocean. This park was also a dry camping park - no facilities; but for one night; we managed just fine. We also had surfers right behind us; and they kept us entertained until sunset.
Take a look at our pictures.
