After getting up, packed and eating breakfast, we headed home. We decided to drive up the 5 freeway across the west side of Camp Pendelton. We drove up through San Clemente to Irvine and cut across to the 15 to come back to Vegas, exactly like we used to. It was kind of surreal to drive by our old house and see that everything looks pretty much the same as it did when we left 5 years ago. It also brought back a lot of memories, and I cried the whole time. Once we got closer to home, we decided to take a little detour and go check out Calico, CA. It is a small ghost town just outside of Barstow. There were a lot of little shops and things to look at, so it was neat. The boys all had a lot of fun. They got to pan for gold, and see a house made out of over 4000 glass bottles. We had old fashion sarsaparilla soda, and we also went on a short tour in a tilted house. The boys were fascinated by the illusions of water running uphill, and brooms balancing "crookedly," and especially by the running faucet suspended in mid-air.
So we spent 5 fun filled days in San Diego and had a blast!!
