Exploring the Coast - Monterey and Point Lobos

  On Sundays we like to just do some exploring around the town.  This last Sunday we ended up in Monterey.  It was really windy and cold, but we checked out some shops and took some good pictures.  Seth loves to take pictures.  I take a few every once in a while, but he is much better at it. 

Seth got a shot of me checkin' out a toy shark 

That is the pier, with all the fancy restaurants


We are going to make big bucks someday doing advertising for Oakley... this is just a practice shot

     Then on Monday for F.H.E. we decided to check out Point Lobos State Reserve.  We both had a BLAST walking around the trails... maybe straying from a few trails... and checkin' the place out.  We had a little mishap with some seals, details later.  But we ended up staying there a lot longer than we had planned on. 

If I was a Vampire, this would be my vampire pose (we just watched Twilight)







Seth crawled into this little cave and I took the picture, problem was we had to get in and get out before the tide came back in... a little sketchy but we got the shot

     Okay... here is how the story goes.  If you look at the picture above, you can see a dark shadow between the rocks on the right side.  When I was standing up on the rocks where Seth  took the picture above I noticed that there were either some logs or some seals in a cave over by that shadow.  So naturally we decided it would be a great idea to run over and check it out.  And oh boy did we hit the jack pot.  We had to climb up rocks and while avoiding the waves and then when we looked into the cave there were about 20 seals laying in there! Seth saw them first and tried to get some pictures, but then the seals must have seen or heard both of us because then they started to yelp and all of them made a run for it.  We didn't mean to disturb them, but they were pretty mad at us.  Once they were safe in the water they all just stared.  It was so cool to see though.





Over on a different part of the point we tried commanding the waves
