We left Saturday morning on our way to California. We took the quickest route to San Diego so that had us traveling the Southern route to California - Hwy 20 from DFW to Arizona just outside of Tuscon a bit. Well since we are on the Southern route it takes us so close to the boarder of the US and Mexico. There were a ton of Border Patrol Check Points that we had to stop at - a very interesting thing to do since we are not used to it. At this particular stop I was driving and Dave took some pictures of the nice BP man :). We spent the first night in Las Cruces, NM. It was a nice town and nearby was a very old town named Mesilla and we ate dinner there at the La Posta Restaurant that has been open since 1939. You can see their website www.laposta-de-mesilla.com and they once served the likes of Billy the Kid (maybe it had a different name at that time not sure). This morning we got up and had breakfast at the hotel and then headed on our way - we had a few more border patrol stops - fun. We stopped in Tuscon for lunch. We passed through lots of deserts with temps reaching 115 degrees - OMG!! We stopped to take photos of all the huge rock mountains and Dave wanted to climb them. We are now in San Diego and it is such a pretty area. Kelsey and Landry both said they wanted to live here for at least a month but then get home to their friends. Tomorrow we will be at Legoland!!!
