One Of Twelve

I hooked up with my lovely young grand-daughter Shelby this morning and met her husband Vince. I had to let the guards run my drivers license through the Homeland Security super computer before I could reach their house on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base. Vince is a Marine sniper veteran, launches mortars and is a really nice kid! They have a great house on base, two dogs, and a sweet BMW bike in the garage.

Shelby and I went to breakfast at a very popular place in Dana Point while Vince met up with his visiting parents, also in Dana Point. Shelby had Crepes while I had an insanely good Eggs Benedict made with Hawaiian pork. Had a great visit and she caught me up on family news including the fact that I have twelve grand-kids. Ok, call me just a little bit out of touch, but hey! I live in Idaho!

Shelby and I said our good-byes and I started my Pacific Coast run from Dana Point at 1030 and didn’t stop until now in Los Alamos. The trip was intense as I was doing it on a beautiful L.A. Sunday, and the number of people that were flocking to the beach blew my mind! Going through the twenty mile stretch of Malibu there were thousands of vehicles and people (I want to say millions…) jamming into each beach. It was a relief to reach Hwy 101 where I was able to let Jill loose and cruise :-)

I’m including a couple of Coast shots without the madness…

  1. Great shots, Shelby and Vince look great. Glad you had quality time with her. Sounds like Sundays are not good days to hit the beach. Shelby has grown into a beautiful women. She was a cute little girl. The last time I saw her was when we took her, Riley and Johnny to the river to swim :-) Many many years ago…

  2. There was no way to stop at a beach without waiting in a line of a hundred cars trying to make a left turn, then paying the state money, then finding a place to park, then… My first beach shot will be Secret Beach, south of Carmel, tomorrow.
