California Vacation Summer 2000

California Vacation Summer 2000 Hagerstown to Pittsburg to San Diego by US Air for a rendezvous with our daughter Cassie and her husband Trent followed by a trip north to Folsom to visit our son Bill and his fiance Melissa. We went to several beaches in the San Diego and spent the last night on the ocean in Cambria. San Diego to Pittsburg to Hagerstown left us tired but with great memories.

(95K) 1101 x 1009 Cassie and Chrismarie in La Jolla near a beach where seals cavort.
(75K) 1600 x 1200 Sunset from the front lawn of our dog-friendly motel in Cambria.
(133K) 863 x 1363 Cassie in a Point Loma Cliff.

Chitons and tide pool critters.
(225K) 1600 x 1200 Chitons and buddies
(232K) 1600 x 1200 More chitons and critters from the tide pools.
(45K) 513 x 535

(188K) 1047 x 1407 Dad caught in the cliff near the Point Loma tide pools.
(85K) 1600 x 1200 Elephant Seals near vista stop just north of Cambria. This beach had 2600 pups on it last January. In August only the old males are present for molting.
(97K) 1600 x 1200 Moonstone Beach in Cambria. The Hearst Castle at San Simeon is on the second peak from the left in the background. It's about 6 miles north.

Looking for moon stones on the beach. They're clear with opal-like characteristics in the sun. We found a host of other cool stones including, possibly, California jade.
(146K) 1387 x 839 Before the picture of the moon stone crew.
(155K) 1238 x 1061 The intended picture of the moon stone crew.
(139K) 896 x 1398

(190K) 1600 x 1200 The dog is not into looking for gems.
(176K) 1600 x 1200 A statue to the Spaniard explorer who first explored the San Diego area in 1524.
(56K) 679 x 911 Chrismarie, our friend Molly, and Cassie at Point Loma.

Kenneth, Cassie and Chrismarie at Point Loma.
(102K) 1501 x 963 View of San Diego from Point Loma.
(110K) 1572 x 1014 The tide pool scene, frozen only by a picture. The froth on top is probably a result of proteins dissolved in the water. Tide pools and their constantly moving support a plethora of organisms many of which are attached to the rocks.
(215K) 1600 x 1200

(122K) 891 x 1305 A young gentleman tide pooler.
(200K) 1600 x 1200 Layers of ancient oceans are visible in the rocks the ocean has exposed for us.
(221K) 1600 x 1200 A desert-adapted wildflower that blends in well with a neighboring rock. Desert adaptations include small leaves and waxy coverings. This one is showing small white flowers.

The SuperCrew which travels really nice. Melissa in background and Bill, with new goatee, in front with the puppy.
(112K) 1367 x 788 Bill and Yeager getting ready to leave Cambria.
(164K) 1442 x 1041 More tide pool critters near San Diego.
(228K) 1600 x 1200

(284K) 1600 x 1200 Close up of tidepool critters.
(111K) 1366 x 941 Tide pools - better than the movies! Not saying much in summer of 2000 though. A bland film period.
(65K) 1163 x 747 Dad, who is not really pregnant, on beach near Cambria.

Bill's dog, Yeager.
(14K) 290 x 222 Yeager studies the beach.
(188K) 1320 x 1154 Yeager travelling in the truck. Probably my best picture of vacation and I shot it without looking through the viewfinder. Is that good or bad??
