I love going to Point Lobos State Park. You are always guaranteed to find seals.

To kick off Alan’s big week of vacation time, we’re enjoying a big, fat staycation. First stop: Point Lobos State Park. I took such a ridiculous amount of pictures that I will have to split it into two posts. No surprise there, eh?

There’s something extra exciting about seeing ocean waves crash into mountains of rocks!! Point Lobos is situated on the north end of Big Sur, and I cannot wait to explore Big Sur further this week!!

Yeah, actually that’s not a sea lion. He’s a seal. Doh!

The boys had so much fun climbing on the big rocks, wading in the water, and running the trails. Even John David got down at the end of the day. He sat down in the pebbles and just dove in. He literally laid down in the pebbles and rolled around in them. It was adorable. Unfortunately, my camera battery was dead by that point…

Caleb keeps asking to go back. I wish, Caleb!!! Soon!!!

“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”        Isaiah 1:17

Hope you all have a great week of doing well!!!

  • Oh how fun! What a great way to kick off a weeklong vacation. I just love those. :) Your boys are adorable and look like such a fun crew. Looking forward to more vacay pics!

    • Thanks! It was so wonderful. Too bad tomorrow we have to spend it cleaning out the garage......bleh....

  • Oh my goodness, how fun is this! The sea lions are so close. I don't know if that would scare my kids or make them happy!

    • I feel like this might disappoint you....I have a really really good camera with a zoom lens. They weren't all that close. THAT would have been so cool if they were!
