And Finally...

We headed up the coast to the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, went past it about a mile and a half and met up with the tour guides. The tour took about two hours - learned about the vegetation, the sea life and the history of the lighthouse (and saw the original lens in Cambria) and we actually saw whales heading south. We could see the spouting - wish we could have done our whale watching on Sunday, but Virg's has agreed to give vouchers to the Christian School for those who still want to do the whale watching, so we will do that when we get the chance.The tour guide mentioned Sebastian's Grocery Store down the road, so we went there for lunch and had really good Beef Stew (made with Hearst beef) and a yummy BLT with THICK bacon. Really cute little place. Lots of people there mainly because the tour guide mentioned the good food.Continued to San Simeon Beach and walked on the pier. Some kids were playing soccer around a bull elephant seal who didn't seem to care. Saw one bull near the pier and another one swimming around.
Whew! And we topped all of this 30th Anniversary celebration at..........

If you read all these blogs about our anniversary trip - I can't believe it! Thanks. It was fun and it was a blessing to be able to see God's creation in our area. We did our enjoying of God's nature around us before Pastor Tim even gave us the homework. But we do live in a beautiful place, and if you haven't taken it in yet, start now, especially if you have kids. They will absolutely love to explore this area. I'm sure there are places I don't even know exist. I just love this place!!!
