Sea creatures in Morro Bay- California






June 3, 2009
 Morro Bay, California
Pacific Coast Highway

Continuing north along the scenic coast we landed in Morro Bay State Park for the evening. The boys enjoyed feeding the squirrels while Remy took a bazillion photos of otters frolicking in the bay. Liz watched from the warmth of the van as she is still struggling with the cooler temperatures here in California.

The Sea Lions seem to enjoy this part of the world too and can be spotted hanging out on the docks posing for the few tourists. After our fish and chip dinner at the dock  we watched them all lounging and  spotted one that had a nasty, bleeding hole in its flesh that bubbled when it got wet.  Ewwwww. We think it must have punctured a lung or something. It grossed everyone out so much but we all couldn't take our eyes off of it. Eventually the other animals pushed it off the dock and it swam away nursing that nasty gash. Nature can be so cruel.

Speaking of cruel....it's cool here at night and inside the van is where we all prefer to be. Bowen thinks it's fun to dress up in underwear and give us a dance routine. I'm feeling the need for some girl time soon!
