Greg and I got up at 5am and hit the open road. Destination: SF (me)/Seattle (Greg), with a whole lotta Bruce Springsteen and Big Sur. :)
Big Sur is gorgeous.
We were hungry and needed gas so we pulled in and found what I'm sure is the best bakery & restaurant in Big Sur. :) 
Best ham & cheese croissant (left) I've ever had. Everything else looked amazing, too. I only wish it were as easy as hoppin' in a car and driving down there. ;) 
My taco salad. Not the best, but I probably should have ordered something else. Everything else looked really good. :)
Tesco in the US! :) Yay! I love. Well, I love and don't love. Haha. It's a good idea, but I don't like the warehouse feeling when you walk in--rather than Costco-like, it feels more discount grocery store that might sell expired food. 
European oatmeal with brown sugar, sliced bananas and apples. Greg's family was alarmed to hear that I'd never had oatmeal before. I never really thought I would like it and I don't--I think it's to do with the texture and the fact that it's a little bland. It was better than I thought though and Greg's dad was very kind for making it for me! :)
Greg's been faaaaarming in SoCal! :) When he talked about his garden I thought it was just going to be a little patch, but it's fabulous and he's growing all kinds of delicious veggies! 
Yummy. Greg's favorite taco shop in Fallbrook! Except, I don't really like tacos. Well, I don't really like authentic tortillas so I ate these without the tortillas and they were very good. :)
Greg had never been to Applebee's and they had one in the town just outside of Joshua Tree National Park so we decided to be silly and go! Haha. If you knew Greg you'd roll your eyes and laugh right now. :) My tomato soup wasn't anything great to start with. Aww.. but I was starving so it was nice. :)
My salad. Eh.
Greg loved it. Haha.. no actually, he was just hungry, but hey--we were out in the desert and it had air conditioning, food and good service so no hating on Applebee's. :) 
On the left we have tomato-habanero tortillas and soy chorizo with corn.
These are Baja-Greg style burritos. We have the soy chorizo, corn, fresh jalapenos, cheese, cabbage and salsa on a tomato-habanero tortilla. This was SO yummy!!! We're awesome campers, Greg. :) 
We'd just set up camp and transfered the water from the truck to the table when..
This squirrel jumped right up on the table and bit into the plastic! It knew right away that those jugs were water. CRAZY.
Hey, it's the desert, in the middle of July, and the squirrels.. and everything else were thiiiirsty. We moved the water back into the truck. :) 
We stopped at Trader Joe's, Target and Rite Aid, but also at State Bros--because, well, we had never been! They had a couple out there. Interesting. :) I looove finding new grocery stores.
Joshua Tree National Park. :) 
Greg had been to this place at the Long Beach airport so we decided to go there after I landed and before heading out to Joshua Tree!
Gregs!
