I like long walks on the beach with elephant seals.

(Don't you love how my blog post is a mile long because of all the pictures?)
Oh man! It's be fun lately! First I'll write about our trip to San Mateo Memorial Park. It was SO PRETTY with a crazy amount of trees. The campsite we were at was beautiful, though we didn't stay there much during the day.

We went on a guided tour to a beach with tons of elephant seals... It sounded like it'd be 3 miles of boring torture, but it was SO FUN! It was basically a long walk on the beach! =) We saw probably 100 elephant seals, although apparently there were a thousand. WOAH. They're actually really cute, unless they are a full grown male. Then... Ugh. Since it was on a wildlife preserve, they didn't clean anything up... and I mean anything. We probably saw around eight dead bodies of elephant seals. Lovely. Smelled lovely as well. And to top it off, one of them had deteriated from the inside out so we got to see a nice shell. But most of them were... well, graphic.A beautiful view from the guided tour.

That's a lot of seals.

A cute baby elephant seal! Awww! I'm asking for one for my birthday. Hahaha.

Then we went to the cove beach right next door to the elephant seal beach. We didn't stay there long though.

Mom and Dad looking wistful.

After THAT we went to Pebble Beach. That was awesome because we (we being Dad and me) got to climb all of these rocks and then we went down to the actual pebble area. Mom and I then decided that it'd be fun to take off our shoes and walk around in the pebbles for a while and then wade in the water. Hm. Painful. But fun.

I loved those rocks!

I think Dad enjoyed it too. =)

The next day we just hiked all around and found all kinds of cool stuff like the swimming hole and a large amphitheater. Plus the trees were so fun to hide in.

Banana slug!

I see youuuu.


A swing thingy! Yay!
Peekaboo!
What a pretty creek!
I forgot how fun camping can be!
Wow. This post is getting pretty long, so I'll do another post about Easter. =)
PS
I figured out how to do a slideshow, but by the time I did I had already uploaded about half of these so I was too lazy. Heheh.
