The Fantastic Week That Was.....

Our daughter, Allison, and her husband, Danny, flew out to Cambria from their home at Ft. Hood, TX to spend spring vacation with us. Of course, our grandchildren Drew and Lexi came with them!

We all spent the week constantly on the go running around Central California.   Todd and his wife, Melissa drove up from Culver City to spend the weekend visiting, hiking with the dogs on Fiscalini Ranch, and checking out the elephant seals at the rookery at Piedras Blancas.

A drive up the Coast brought us to Monterey and an afternoon whale-watching trip.  The gods were with us that afternoon as we saw over 40 migrating grey whales heading north—unbelievable luck!
That evening we continued our trek north to Palo Alto to visit Erik, Rachel and little Ronan.  As several photos show, we are about to have another addition to the family—VERY soon!

The next day we went south to Santa Clara to enjoy the beach and quaint little town.  It was a gorgeous day and the Texans relished the cool breeze and surf.  We regretfully headed home and spent the next day tide pooling along Moonstone Beach, and checking out Moonstone Redwood, an artist friend of ours shop and garden.

We had a fantastic week and once again reinforced how import our family is to Diana and myself!

I hope you enjoy sharing a few memories from our week with us:
