We thought we would pay a visit to one of the campgrounds that was on the ocean - Paradise by the Sea - to see if it would be a good place for us to stay on some of our days off with the fifth wheel. We're glad we stopped there before making reservations and going. Although close to the beach - about a 10 minute walk under the railroad bridge and through a park - it wasn't "on" the ocean as we expected. Plus, the spaces were very close together and the park didn't meet our "it" factor for the prices they were charging - $65 per night for a rig our size. So, we will most likely stay in the state park that is probably a 10 minute drive from the beach and pay $25 per night.
There were some gorgeous flowers that were all along the roadway as we traveled:
(Notice the gas prices in the picture! $4.39 for regular.)
As we walked along the pier, there were many people fishing along with the crowd that was all up and down the pier:
We made it to Ruby's and signed up for 45 minute wait to be seated. It was fun watching all the activity around the restaurant and we spotted this one hungry pelican on the roof at Ruby's:
He never moved from this spot the whole time we were there.
Our lunch was delicious and we headed back to the beginning of the pier again and stopped along the way to watch the fishermen and to catch another shot of a pelican that was entertaining the crowd in this area:
People were tossing fish to him and he was putting on a show.
It was a fun day and we got home around 7 PM and watched some TV before turning in for the night. Today looks nice, but not as clear as yesterday. We'll probably finish up some more laundry and do some more on the taxes - and maybe venture out to someplace later in the day...
