The Great Shark Rescue

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #076 Last week, every day seemed to hold a new adventure.  Yes, we enjoyed walking the beaches and collecting various shells, but we also enjoyed being able to see rays, fish, and other sea creatures in the water.  A couple of mornings, we found sand dollars on the beach.  All of these things were fun, but our biggest adventure began with a simple walk on the beach…. Munchkin let out a squeal when she saw something on the beach.  She went running over and discovered that a shark had been beached when the tide went out.  At…

A Week at the Beach

Project 365 – #073 Our trailer backed up to the beach, so we could literally walk just a few feet and be on the beach.  This was our view.  The campground is also a marina, so we watched many sailboats come and go as we strolled the beach.  While this beach was nice, we did head over to the other side of the island, so we could enjoy the rolling ocean waves.  While that side is just across the road, you can’t really stroll on the beach at that point due to the Navy Seal training taking place.  We went…

Project 365 – #071 My blog has been on auto-pilot all week long.  Today is the first day where I am actually posting live since last Friday.  Why?  Well, D had a work conference in San Diego this past week.  Munchkin and I decided that we would tag along with D.  We packed up the 5th-wheel trailer and headed over to the CA coast for a week of camping on the beach. The weather was beautiful even though it rained a little while we were there.  The evenings were on the cool side.  The breeze coming off the water made…

Exploring Bulldog Canyon Day 2

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Day 2 of exploring Bulldog Canyon was filled with fun, dust, and lots of rocks and boulders.  It’s sad to see our time of off-roading with Grandma and Grandpa coming to an end.  We were thrilled to have this time together.  We saw so much gorgeous scenery while we were out riding.  A couple of crazy spills later, D is a bit sore, but he doesn’t regret a minute of it as we had a blast.

Exploring Bulldog Canyon Day 1

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Since my Dad and Stepmom are here visiting, we thought it would be fun to head out exploring with our RZR and D’s dirt bike. Our RZR only seats 2 people, so we found a place that rented RZRs. Grandpa and Munchkin were in one RZR (the rental) while I drove Grandma in my RZR. D took the lead which, as usual, lead to some crazy times on the trails, but we had a blast. Here are some of the sights from today’s trip to Bulldog Canyon. Project 365 – #026 This area is stunning. We’ll be heading out for…
