When we were kids

Vista was right on the way to Lake Wohlford where Mom and Dad had a vacation trailer.  From Long Beach we would drive down Pacific Coast Highway (small towns and stoplights all the way) and turn left at Oceanside and past the bird sanctuary on our way through Vista to Escondido.  The bird sanctuary was one of our landmarks to know we were getting close to being there, answering that ever-recurrent question “are we there yet?”

A nice backyard for sitting and visiting at Barbara’s.

We’re not in Kansas anymore

We’re not in Colorado either.  We’re in California for a few days.  Flew out here for a visit with Barbara Shockley, Judy’s sister-in-law.  A lot like a sister.

Here is the approach to her house from the street.  The driveway on the right.

The kids will remember this from our trips out here in the VW Bus on Spring Breaks when they were little.  Farther up.

And the look back out.
