Default This is the way to Grandma's house...lol

Hello all. Like I said in previous posts, my parents live almost right across the street from the park where we'll be having the picnic...and I can give some simpler directions to those of you coming from my part of town (east county).
From the 8 west take the 125 south to the 94 west. follow the 94 west to the 5 north. Take the 5 north to the 6th ave exit and make a right at the end of the ramp. Follow 6th Ave approx 1 1/2 - 2 miles and you'll see the playground on your right. (My parents live on the corner of Redwood and 6th for those of you looking for a cross street)
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to e-mail me and I can give you my cell phone number in case you get lost.
See you all Sunday!!

My post needed that. You wouldnt believe I am a native Californian. I just know how to get places, not tell others how to get there. Your post helped alot of folks Im sure. Thanks again! I look forward to seeing you once more!

Which playground is the picnic at, the one off of 6th or the one across from Balboa hospital? I thought that there was a park there also so I don't know which to go to if I am able to get away from my parent's home in Oceanside (visiting) in time to come.
