After two weeks visiting national parks in Utah, Lily and I were more than ready to return to civilization. We bypassed the Grand Canyon for a variety of reasons, mainly because we would have had to drive at least a few hundred miles to get there. We were ready to be back in a city - if that's what you want to call Las Vegas.
See, to me, Las Vegas is more of a giant adult-themed 24-hour amusement park than a city. It's lots of fun, but it's best when you have lots of money to blow. We were there for a few nights, and since we didn't have much disposable income (or any income at all), we spent just one day/night doing the fun things one generally does in Vegas. We had a lot of fun that night, and as a result, not so much fun the next morning. Still, we enjoyed our time there, and will be happy to return if/when we are floating in money.
Now we are in San Diego, enjoying the ocean. I still can't get over the fact that it's December, and we're wearing shorts and T-shirts. Today we biked along Mission Beach and had lunch on Ocean Beach. It's 70 degrees in December - I think I could live in a place like this.
Our camper, on the other hand, is becoming more and more of a pain in the ass to live in. The system of piping leading from our freshwater tank to the water pump decided to leak after thirty years. Today is the first day we've been able to enjoy ourselves - we've spent the past three days attempting to find a solution for a thirty year old system of water piping. I am happy to gloat that we did fix the problem, and are very proud of ourselves for figuring it out. I can guarantee you one thing: the next camper we own will not be older than we are.
