Road Trip to the Coast


Today my father, sisters, Bernice, Stacey and I drove down to Point Lobos State Reserve, just south of Carmel (according to their website, this is "The Greatest Meeting of Land and Water in the World"). We climbed on the rocks, walked around a bit, and spotted sea lions (in the water) and a deer (on land). It was crowded, but it was a beautiful bright day.

Susy and Bernice are one (two?) with nature

Becky hopes for sea lion sightings

Stacey's first trip to the (continental) Pacific coast

Better weather than I am used to at Thanksgiving

Working off all the pie

Not even a little bit scared of us

From here, you can hear the sea lions

After Point Lobos, we drove up to Monterey for lunch and visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which features two of my favorite marine organisms (otters and jellyfish) and one of my least favorite land organisms: Stupid People. Especially Stupid People with Strollers. I have nothing against what's in the strollers, but people seem about as proficient at driving them as they are at driving cars which, in California, is NOT VERY. Don't even ask Stacey about this unless you have some free time and an ear for cursing.
