Celebrations - 3 Birthdays and a Wedding

After leaving Jalama, we are treated to a beautiful drive towards San Diego.

Sea cliffs by Santa Barbara

Although we enjoy seeing the mission bell mile markers along the historic El Camino Real, we wish the State of California had spent some of the multi-millions of dollars they lavished on these expensive markers on more rest areas instead.

Beautiful, that is, until we hit the LA Freeways

Are we there yet?

Finally, we reach lagoon just before the Leucadia Exit.

Although Jessica (Philip and Sue's daughter and Peter's niece) turned 21 the week or so before, since we're all together, why not celebrate hers as well at a Solona Beach institution, the Belly Up.
