....part 2

So after the first night, we packed up to drive down the coast to our next spot in San Simeon, about an hour away and right next to the beach. We had some time to kill because we couldn't set up camp until 2pm so we did some sight seeing along the way. The view's were beautiful, and did I mention chilly:) ! This was the first lookout point we stopped at:

Gavin is saying"hi" to the water

This kid loves to pose and say "cheese"

"trying" to sit nicely together for a picture

that's better, now you can't see their disgruntled faces!

there's those smiles!

From there we kept driving and found this spot where elephant seals like to frolic and play. It was so cool to see them up close, and it was FREE!

Look at all those seals!

Gavin had just fell asleep when we stopped but I wanted him to see them too. Look at him all bundled up in the blanky:)

Our family pic! The best one of the whole trip, I think:) (look at that ridiculous belly!)


Moving on, this is our next campsite. We stayed here for two nights. The beach was only aobut 200 yards away. You could hear the waves crashing...pure heaven. We set up our tent and then went to the beach!

Kade was all excited to surf, until he felt how cold the water was!

They decided to just play in the sand instead!

We headed back to the campsite and cooked hot dogs over the fire. Kade really liked sitting by the fire and eating.

Still more to come, the final day of our trip.......
