San Diego Vacation - Final Chapter

Wednesday, June 23rd had us getting up early to head toward the beach again. Connor was going to have another surf lesson and after that was over, we needed to head to Carlsbad to take the rental car back.

The weather wasn't as good for us that day as we finally experienced what Southern Californians call "June gloom". We met back up with Andy at Grandview Beach in Encinitas for the lesson. Kim's son Robbie decided to rent a board from them and go out also, Rob didn't have wet suit and the water wasn't warm, but it didn't stop him from heading out and having fun.

Connor was on the short board this time and impressed Andy with his ability to get up on the board again.




My personal favorite -


Although it was overcast, I could certainly tell that I got sun that day, maybe even more than our first day there when the sun was shining brightly.

After the lesson, back to Carlsbad with the rental car and then back to Fallbrook to get packed up and ready to go early the next morning.  We headed to Fallbrook when we got caught in a pretty bad traffic jam due to a wild fire on the side of the Highway 76.  It took us 2 hours to go 20 miles.....wowza!

It was a great vacation and we're hoping that we will come back out to San Diego county next summer!

Thanks so much for posting your 'journal' of your trip. I really enjoyed hearing all about your trip and loved seeing pictures of Connor learning to ride the waves!
