Ventura, CA to San Ysida, CA (12/7):

A quick trip to the Channel Islands National Park Visitor's Center allowed us to technically check the Channel Islands off our national park list. The islands themselves are only accesible by boat, which was not running today, and we didn't really want to spend any more time hanging around in the area, so we'll have to make it to those islands sometime in the future.

The goal had been to spend the afternoon in Tijuana, but we underestimated (misunderestimated?) how far Ventura was from LA and how far LA was from San Diego. There was also a heavy downpour, so we spent the day driving, stopping just short of the border and staying on good old American soil for now.
