Day 32 ~ Pismo Beach


On Monday we left Malibu Beach. The boys walked to the beach and picked a bouquet for me which I displayed in an empty bottle of Happy Camper Cabernet Sauvignon. We then headed for Pismo Beach.
On Tuesday we spent the day at the beach. The boys played in the surf, collected rocks and a few shells. In the afternoon we visited the Monarch Butterfly Grove. Although there were many butterflies, it was amazing to see the historical butterfly count. In 2000 the count at the grove was 270,000. In 2011 the count was 20,000.


Irene decided to drive down and join us and at low tide today we all went north of Pismo Beach to Shell Beach. Surprisingly there were no shells to be found but we collected more unusual rocks. Out on the large rocks we could see harbor seals.


Next we drove further north to Avila Beach. The wind increased and it was very cool. We are enjoying the sunshine but wish we had warmer temperatures.
