La Jolla Trip

A couple years ago, I was able to go to the CO River with my best friend, Beth, & her family. They had some friends (Tom & Sue) that were going to meet us there with their son & his wife (Chris & Joanne). Anyway, we bonded so strongly during that trip that they've become great friends! Beth & I were able to visit Chris & Sue on our cross-country trip from Calvin back to CA on our stop in Chicago. It's been fun seeing them here & there since the amazing trip to the river, & can only hope to be able to organize another trip like that in the near future.

Anyway, now that there is background.... Sue, Joanne, Beth, & myself were blessed to be able to spend the day together today. Joanne is here from Chicago visiting Tom & Sue, so we thought we'd get together & catch up yet again. We had a BLAST!!! We drove down to La Jolla & had some lunch. Here are a couple pictures from lunch:

After some shopping & a lot of walking, we decided to drive back down to see the sea lions. It was fun to just see such a large group of these animals together. While we were taking some of the pictures, we even got to see some dolphins off the coast. They were too far to catch a good picture, but fun to see them, nonetheless.

Here are a few pictures of our time out by the sea lions:





The next few are all of the sea lions & the views from the look-out points:

My favorite clump of sea lions... check out the white one!

All in all... a WONDERFUL day with great friends!
