We left Santa Barbara for San Diego, passing through LA. We got lucky, the traffic wasn't near as bad as we expected. We arrived in San Diego about the time we expected. We setup the trailer up, went to the beach for the sunset and then to the airport to pickup Kayla and Kathryn. It sounds like it would be crowded but actually it worked out well. Ripley was super glad to see them. They spent 5 days with us over Labor Day weekend, so the campground got crazy busy on Friday. We kept busy during our stay. We went to the beach, the zoo, saw Coronado with a friend of mine (thanks Traycie, it was good to see you). Our neighbor was super friendly and let us use his tent while we were on the campground beach and offer us his paddleboard (I should have taken him up on that, but I know how bad I would be at it). San Diego has a great deal to offer whether you live there or are visiting.

| like Ripley, Kayla has her own classic pose |
 |
| between the sea lions and the waves and the rocks, La Jolla was a great place |
 |
| this pair was having it out in the cove |
 |
| opposite the sea lions were the rocks |

 |
| I tried to get a picture with Kayla and the big waves but they never came together |
 |
| Ripley thinks he is missing something |
 |
