Spring Break week here, so I took the week off work and we went to San Diego. First time there, loved the place.
Anyway, here's some pics. Cove Fort in Utah on the way down - built for protection from Indians.

Loved California, looking forward to going back in July to LA. They drive like idiots there though.
The home to the bad news Water main burst on the road, flooded our basement - which we had fully finished last year. Damage is pretty extensive

Oh well, water companies insurance will cover it.

I love how the land rover is in most of the pictures like it is posing. No people, just a Land Rover. Love it.

Thanks! I try to keep other people out of landscapes & car shots. If you ask my family they say I take too many pictures of them as well '80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!
