In this posting we travel to Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez and beautiful Pismo Beach where we found a RV Park on an overlook of the Pacific Ocean.
We are visiting AJ and Melanie at their Marina Del Rey apartment. It's beautiful here, almost perfect weather.
Here is a picture from their balcony looking at the front entrance of their complex. AJ has a small organic garden with tomato's and herbs .

The drive North was simply gorgeous. The below pictures are North of Santa Barbara up to Pismo Beach.
We loved the drive and were headed north for a 4 hr drive to Sacramento then on to Napa, when we saw Pismo Beach from the road. We knew we had to stop and spend some time there. The ocean was just beautiful, and there were huge rocks with hundred of seals. We didn't have reservations at an RV park but drove down by the beach to check out the area. Suddenly we saw a small sign for an RV "space", first come first serve, and it had just emptied out as it was the end of the weekend. We scored an unbelievable spot overlooking the ocean. The views are amazing, the breeze is cool, and we can hear the seals barking. This is one of those dream spots.

Some of the hundreds of seals find their way to the lower level of the pier to rest and bark all throughout the day and night. Very cute but dangerous. Signs all over warn to stay away from them.
