Next day we headed out at 6:00AM to the BEACH. When we got to Oceanside we went to our favorite little hole-in-the-wall fish & chips joint and had some lunch then it was off to the beach. We spent a couple of hours there in which I promptly sunburned my shoulders. That evening we went to a car show/cruise in over at Escondido. We walked up and down the streets looking at lots of cool cars and a few strange people including one with a boa constrictor wrapped around his neck.
Saturday, 4:30AM the fishermen (Mel, Josh, Nate & Colby) headed out to the long awaited fishing trip. They went out of Point Loma and headed south down into the Baja Mexico area. They had a great time fishing. Mel broke his pole about an hour into the excursion but between the four of them they caught 28 Sea Bass and one shark. Colby caught the 4 foot long shark. Though they couldn't bring a shark onto the boat they reeled it in and got a good look at it before they cut it loose.
When the guys got done fishing they stopped and got a picnic lunch and brought down to the rest of us that were already on the beach. Janet and I took the rest of the kids and were at the beach since 9:30 that morning. We stayed the rest of the day at the beach playing in the sand, catching sand crabs and boogie boarding. We played hard all day.
For dinner, we had ice cream and then went to a great little pizza place in Carlsbad. The Brinkerhoff's were having so much fun they decided to stay another day on vacation but we headed home on Sunday. The way we vacation it takes me a week to catch up on sleep and laundry but we had a blast. We are already planning next year's outing!!
