Vacation 2012, part 3

The drive from Vegas to California is a very boring one, lots of hot, dry, dessert areas and not much to see.  It's also very hot, so I was glad we were in a car with AC.  :-)

After a few hours more of driving though, with a stop along the way for a picnic lunch, we made it to San Diego!  It is sooo pretty in San Diego, it's almost more than a person can take in, especially after coming through such bland scenery.   This is a picture of Balboa Park, one of the tourist attractions in San Diego. 

We pulled over at a local strip mall, and spent some time on Priceline.com locating a hotel in our area in our price range.  We ended up getting a nice hotel for $50 a night!

After a good nights sleep in a "real" bed (instead of sleeping in the car!), we enjoyed a complimentary breakfast at the hotel and headed out to do some tourist type things!

Next up: San Diego Automotive Museum and Air and Space Museum!
