Going to California

No, not the Led Zeppelin song, cool though it may be. We headed to San Diego for Tracie's cousin's wedding this weekend. Since we'll be there for four nights, we decided that renting a car would be more expensive than driving our own, so we hit the road in our RAV4 at lunchtime today. We stopped at Costco for gas and a cheap hot dog lunch, then headed out of town. It was a fairly uneventful drive, with stops for restrooms and refreshments in Gila Bend and Yuma.

We listened to an audio book most of the way, which really made the 7 hour drive fly by. We made it to the hotel at about 7:00 and quickly left again in search of dinner. By random chance, we came to a Mexican restaurant called La Especial Norte on the Coast Highway. It was a fairly hole-in-the-wall place, but the food was fantastic! It was definitely one of the best Mexican dinners we've had in a while.
