From Vegas we traveled to Oceanside and spent our time between the beach, the pool and napping. It was pure, concentrated, bliss. Kat's parents had a three bedroom booked till about Thursday and a one bedroom booked till Sunday. Since we all could not fit in the one bedroom, everyone flew the coop but us. We stayed until right before checkout before leaving. It was great. Kat's parents are superb human beings for letting us use the place.
Of course no family vacation would be complete without historical sites. This is the biggest of a series of Spanish Missions established up the California coast. The mission dates back to 1798 and is called San Luis Rey de Francia. It was beautiful and full of excellent artifacts. Spanish Churches never get old. It was also occupied by the Mormon Battalion in 1847.
It even had a sattelite dish.
Red and Smiley hated the Ocean and wanted nothing to do with it. However, they didn't mind the sand one bit.
Smiley was a bit unsure about this photo.
There was a high quality Fish and Chips place. You could tell because your could feel your arterys clogging as you ate. Kat, being raised in England, loved it.
We ended our vacation by taking Red and Smiley to Excalibur and then staying with one of Kat's cousins. They were of the church going, scripture reading, bishopric type. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Kat and I disagreed on if it it inappropriate to where a T shirt with Damn (and Captain Reynolds) on it to such a household.
Good times where had by all.

Looks like fun! You should post a picture of your "damn" t-shirt. :) Who is Capt __ (can't remember his name)? Is he a pirate?
