San Jose del Cabo, Mexico: Part C - Pool Time

Our daughter, the fish...

RV camping in the California desert - Part A

The Anza Borrego Desert State Park,

2 hours west of San Diego.

A lot of desert.

Not a lot of people...Actually we didn't see anyone else.
But we did see a big fat hairy spider. A trantula. Really!
Isabella made friends with a cactus.
And learned the true meaning of the word "ouch"!She also got to "help" Antoine set up his telescope.
And then struck out for a walk on her own
- she was fearless!
Time out for breakfast
Followed by a little desert mountain biking...

Our wee "Pebbles," Queen of the desert...

RV Camping in the California desert - Part B

The reason for our trip - to celebrate Papa's birthday!

Dinner (& silly) time in the RVNight night Isabella...
Night night desert moon!

RV camping in the California desert - Part C

The best part about camping in the desert? No cell phone coverage!

RV camping in the California desert - Part D (found 'em!)

A few more pics... just located on Antoine's memory card...

And here it is... our proof-positive that we really did have a trantula stop by for a visit (to be honest, it was so big -- 5 inches -- that it wasn't even scary. More kind of cute, in a fuzzy sort of way...:-)

More San Diego...

A morning dip in the pool...
Followed by an afternoon of play at the Balboa Park Science Museum - "Kid City" (for 5 years and under only...:-)
