Dillon's Beach

At low tide, we walked way out into the water. These are Daniel's waders.

Gavin dug lots of holes. He had me dig lots of holes too. His crazy brothers got their swim trunks on and played in the freezing water on this cold, clear January day.



Daniel gets a kick out of scaring the birds. He got this whole flock at once.
On our way out of Dillon's Beach, there was a really cool grouping of rocks. We scrambled around on them for awhile climbing into caves. It looked a little like Stonehenge. The view from the top was reminiscent of Ireland.

Lawson's Landing

The boys rode their bikes around through the mud puddles, learning how to skid out sideways. It was pretty cool. Daniel looked like he was racing from the back side.

Our neighbors caught a good deal of crab and shared a few with us. It was soooooo yummy!
Paul took one for the team getting some water for the crabs to stay happy in before we ate them.
The Lawson's Landing campground was on the bay just a short walk to the ocean. It was beautiful weather all weekend where it's usually very windy, chilly and cloudy.

Gavin sits and eats his breakfast all sophisticated like. George treated us all to bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy.

Getaway

A peaceful day on the coast

Happy New Year!

We had a fun day at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium where we saw Leopard Sharks (Vincent's Favorite), jelly fish, otters and penguins being fed (Daniel's favorite).






New Year's Eve was a beautiful day at the beach playing in the waves. Everyone got soaked.

"Mom! I'm gonna build you a big, big sand castle!"

"I'm serious."
