Owen and ‘Liv bike camp in San Diego

After visiting us a few weeks back, Owen and Olivia decided to make the best of ‘Liv’s last remaining days of summer and headed off to San Diego on their motorcycle, to camp @ Mission Bay, visit with Uncle Evan and Aunt Marly and visit SeaWorld.


Here’s how they started…

And here’s how they rolled…

Sunny San Diego




Tent set-up, inspection in 5 minutes!


A little rest before hopping back on the bike and heading out to explore.


Owe and ‘Liv at SeaWorld with a gnarly dude that’s apparently asking, “Dude, ya got an extra mackerel you can spare?”

‘Liv and a cast member, after wrapping up a Coke commercial shoot 😉


Shamu either trying to kiss or bite ‘Liv, we’re not quite sure.


In any event, Problem Solved: Owen always liked spearfishing when he was diving as a kid, so it’s no surprise he bagged Shamu on this trip.

And the best part of the trip – family visits:

‘Liv visiting with Uncle Evan


‘Liv visiting with Aunt Marly

While we were somewhat apprehensive about Owe and ‘Liv driving on such busy freeways during the height of vacation season, remembering back to all of the fun Owen and I had on our 1,400 mile motorcycle camping trip back in ’86, what could we say but, “Have fun, be safe and savor the moments.”

Judging from their pics, it’s pretty clear they didn’t need my advice.

As always, thanks for visiting, be well and write when you get work.
