Thanks folks, we had a blast. All theses were taking with a old point and shoot which is why there are not any close ups..

Allan I do not have any family in California, my wife does but in the LA or San Francisco area. We will be going to San Francisco our next California trip.

Mission Beach was cool dude, we loved that entire area OB, PB, MB etc.. Cool people, the surf, good eats and drinks.. Being a vintage van and volkswagen fan my self I was in heaven. Do to all the surfers being their for all these years they were all over the place. So many cool classic surf rides.

We will be going back to Sand Deigo for sure, we loved it. Could see our selves living their for a couple of years easy. Would not stay though, the cost of living its a bit to high to stay for the long haul.
