The Trip to Alisomar

Southern California is so beautiful.  I narrowly escaped the snow storm and arrived in San Diego Wednesday afternoon.   Thursday morning my girlfriend and I started our trip north to Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove California.  The photos I'm posting are of the scenery along the way. 
Mountains!!!  Something the area of Ohio I live in doesn't have.
 
We stayed the night in Morro Bay last night in a lovely hotel directly across the street from the Cotton Ball Quilt Shop but we arrived after it had closed and left before it opened.
Wildlife...up close and personal....

....otters playing in the water....so fun to watch.
 friendly squirrels....a gaggle of them....(is there a word for a group of squirrel Gene?)
 Elephant seals deliver their pups on these beaches....between Morro Bay and Pacific Grove.
A real treat for the eyes of a winter toasted Ohioan for sure.

Amazing views all along Route 1 going up the coast.
A rare site on the beach....that winter toasted Ohioan...yep...I went for a brisk walk on the beach after unpacking here at Asilomar.  All I can say is I'm so incredibally happy to be here and I'm tail wagging excited about my class tomorrow :)

Thanks for sharing the road with me today!

Big Warm Smiles,
Kelly

  2. There is no official name for a group of squirrels. I would call them a "pest of squirrels" or a "terrorist cell of squirrels." I have a story to go with that last one. Ha ha.
