Friday

we made plans to visit hearst castle but on the way went to morro bay (kevin got the afternoon off). kevin, kyra (brad was working), jenny and danny.

this sea otter was floating on his back and we couldn't tear ourselves away!

by morro rock

while we were watching the otters, a family asked us to take their picture and then they offered to take ours. as you can see, it was very windy that day!

aren't they so cute? this is the san simeon pier. to see more cuteness just go to dannyandjenny.blogspot.com
on the way to san simeon pier, we dropped into a small museum. it was very interesting. you should go there sometime.

guess who?

i just wanted a scenic shot--not too many elephant seals in view.

just a few here....

a little further along the shore, we found more seals

lots of blubber --- there's a reason they're called "elephant seals" . we finally tore ourselves away from the seals and drove up to the visitor's center for hearst castle. there we found out it was too late for a tour. they were all sold out :( we drove back to san luis where we were scheduled to meet up with some friends of danny's and eat dinner at goshi's. we also met up with brad there on his way home from work

this is only part of what danny ordered....he can really pack it away. sorry i didn't post this sooner, jenny. you could've used it on your blog!

Brad ordered this--egg cake

and this. don't know what it was but he polished it off! after dinner, i suggested that we go to the madonna inn and show everyone the bathroom in the wine cellar.

you can't really tell but that's water running down the rocks in the urinal...kind of like a waterfall

then brad stepped in for a posed shot...only posing people! and that was the end of our day! so much fun to be together!
