Sunshine!

 The Cambria forecast last week said rain, rain, rain 

so we are celebrating the sunshine.

Today we visited the Piedras Blancas lighthouse -

ok, the lighthouse gate, which is as close as we’ve ever been. 

Some day we may actually get closer, but we’ve been saying that for yearrrrrs.

A short way down the road is the elephant seal rookery, 

which the kids were excited to see again. 

Lots of seals and a few pups were lined up on the sand,

within easy viewing distance of the boardwalk. 

It’s always fun to watch these giants snooze and grunt and throw sand on each other. 

Flowers along the path and at our rental house -
