Yosemite

June 18-20, 2010 a group of us went to Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest for a "camping" trip.  We packed food for all meals to share.  Our plan was to hike in the park, but since it was Father's Day, it was the busiest any of us had ever seen in a national park.  There was hardly anywhere to park a small car let alone an RV!  We drove around Yosemite and snapped some pix, and then headed back to the campsite for a cookout.  We had such a great time relaxing, eating and shooting the breeze.  It didn't matter where we were because we had fun together.

These gorgeous flowers were growing right out of the rock on the side of the road.  I couldn't resist snapping the photo of such an unusual bloom!

Port San Luis

In June, Kevin and I went to Fisherman's Beach in Port San Luis to kayak.  This place is just north of Pismo Beach on the Central Coast and is very RV and dog friendly.  The weather was gorgeous, just perfect for water activities!

If the Pacific wasn't so darn cold, we wouldn't have to wear these wetsuits!

When I got too close to this little guy, he made such a heinous noise that I had to quickly move away!  Kevin said I was disturbing the balance of nature.

Port San Luis Light - You could only get this view from the water.  This was as close as we could get because the Pacific Ocean was on the other side of the jetty and the water was rough against the rocks.

After kayaking, it was the boys' turn to have some fun.  Kevin had them off leash chasing their ball in the water.  They had so much fun, it was cool to watch!

Cabot retrieves that ball like it is his only goal in life.  Ingonish's mission in life is to deny Cabot that goal.

This is one of my favorite pictures of them.  So innocent looking, and yet so not!

Heading back home

******************************

We ended up going back to Fisherman's Beach this past Saturday 7/10/10.  This time of year it is much cooler and foggier in the morning until the afternoon sun burns it off.  It was very pleasant in the 70's during the day, but quite chilly in the 50's at night.
