So today my girlfriend picked me up at the doorstep of my hotel and whisked me off to another great adventure. First she had a piece of furniture to pick up and then, well, we basically flew by the seat of our britches.

After our little jaunt to the store was over we began discussing hunger and lunch. Granted it was only 10:00 in the morning but for some reason our bodies are still on Eastern Time. Twas at that very moment when my girlfriend exclaimed “I wanna go somewhere fun”. More along the lines of something beachy which was an easy fix since the beach is practically in our backyard.

Today was the first day of my life to set foot on the pacific coast. And what a glorious event it was for me.

And “Beautiful Beth”

Ok so my friend pinched me a time or two just to remind me that we were here together enjoying our day.

Since we both had Star Bucks coffee we were more than willing to hold off on our lunch. So we decided to walk along the beach for a while.

And on our little walk we came upon these tracks running right along the beach. I hope to one day have the opportunity to hop on a train and explore the area by train.

After a while we decided it was time to turn around and walk back to the restaurant.

We got there just before the doors opened and was one of the lucky guests to secure a window seat next to the beach.

After lunch we drove over to another spot where we could walk and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

My friend pauses to post on facebook

We walked and stopped to take pictures

And enjoyed the ever changing scenery

We paused to watch the wildlife sun themselves

And these seals completely stopped us right in our tracks. It’s as if they really had something to say.

Aw just look at them out here in the wild.

One more shot of them from a distance ~ I hope to see you next time I visit!

I think they were having engagement pictures taken. They were just too cute not to capture.

Another picture along our merry way

We stopped to just sit and enjoy the day ~ Love Beth’s pretty toes in this pic.

Later in the afternoon we pulled ourselves away from the beach and enjoyed a little shopping.

And that concludes another fabulous day discovering our new home.
