More Road Trip

I need to finish my Memorial Day weekend posts otherwise I'll forget. When we travel we either are on the go non-stop or we basically lounge in a different location from home.

On Sunday morning we were out the door at an early time for us 9:30am. We headed about 5 miles north of our motel to the elephant viewing area. There is a large parking lot and as soon as we step out of the car, little squirrels come out to beg and they are not afraid at all. We walk to the fence and wow, we see a seal. We are so excited and see another one in the water....then we look to the left and see a walking path and beach just full of elephant seals. There must have been over a hundred of them laying there on the beach, sleeping, flipping sand or sparring. It was really cool.

We then headed down to Cambria for lunch and shopping. Hector really wanted to find the hot sauce we tried the previous night with dinner. Score! We find The Pepper Plant chunky garlic sauce for $5 a bottle. Can 't wait to try it on some food.

On we go to the west side of Cambria for a hike along the coastal bluffs at Fiscalini Ranch preserve. It is about a mile trail along the ocean with gorgeous views. Tyler and I really enjoyed it and had a nice chat. He is growing up so fast and it was nice to spend some one on one time with him. There wasn't a lot of people so it was like having the place to ourselves.

All these activities took up to 2 pm so we headed back to the motel room where we had about 40 minutes to relax then off we head to Hearst Castle....but that will be a bit later.
