Some recent flights

We flew to Santa Monica for lunch on 7/12/09. Figured this would be good practice flying into the LA airspace and is along the same route we would take to Catalina island. The spitfire grill is close, but not right on the field so I wish we had brought the stroller for Katie. The Typhoon and the Hump are right on the field, but weren't open yet and were asian cuisine. The Hump seems to be only open for dinner which is RIDICULOUS since it has the best view of the runway by far.

The forecast is too hot for camping this weekend (7/18/09) so we decided just to fly for lunch. We've never been to Porterville and I see they supposedly have camping on the airport. This gave us a chance to check out the campground and see if we'd come back and camp another time. The campground was nice grass with very nice shade trees and bathrooms. The restaurant said the airport will turn off the sprinklers if people are camping so you don't have to worry about that. Even though the campground is nice, there really isn't much to do there. It would be nice for transient camping or for an airshow, but not for just camping.
