This is a picture of my parent's old house located in Oceanside. tThe only reason I took the picture is to show the beautiful flowers that are at least 6 or 7 feet tall. The colors and variety are amazing. The mailbox is still the one put there and painted by Grandpa. Cheers!

We visited the world famous Peterson Automotive Museum today on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. So many amazing vehicles and great condition. The red caddy Vickie is in front of is just waiting for Elvis to come back from a donut run. A perfect '59 Cadillac. The next picture is for Matthew and a display of 1000 hot wheel in a giant loop. They have a exhibit of 4000 hot wheels. Just amazing to see so many cars, campers, trailers, and motorcycles. We had planned to go to Griffith Park but as the title suggests, we are old folks now and so we got our cold drinks and headed home to the ocean breeze and a comfortable chair. that will be another adventure. We love you guys-Becky, Jonathan, Rachelle, Matthew and Raeden, And another big birthday hug for our big 2 year old Rae!

This is Cardiff-by the Sea, just a beautiful So. Cal. beach town. Note the surfer in the background. We just took the morning and drove down the coast. Cheers!

I started out with the idea of a nice little ride but wanted a change of scenery. So I threw the magical bike in my truck and drove to the very start of Leucadia. Parked at the beach by Grandview and started to ride south. Stopped at Swami's for a picture. One of the most scenic spots on the planet. Rode down to Solona Beach for the next pic, which shows Swami's way in the distance in the background. I am too old for this! Kept heading south for a really nice ride through Del Mar. Their beach and park is sooooo nice. Stopped at Starbucks for a coffee and choclate chip cookie (a buck and a half for a cookie-nuts! but good). Then a slow but nice ride back. I am too tired to type anymore but love to all of you guys! PAPA
