Adventure at the Coast!

So my birthday is this weekend. Boo to getting old! We have a jam packed day tomorrow so we were just going to do a movie. However small miracles happen and Stefen didnt have to work today. So we decided to go fly a kite on the beach. We took Hulk with us and he had a great time. We went to Costco, and Petsmart before we headed out of town. While we were waiting for Costco to open Hulk got to climb his first tree! Unfortunately we didnt take pictures. We also went to a Casino to have lunch. Stefen also let me gamble 1 dollar as he did a while back. I initially won 1.89 but lost it down to .15 cents. It prints this cute ticket for you and I decided it was to cute and not worth it to get my .15 cents. Then we headed to find a beach. The first one was too crowded. The second one was sand dunes. While we were looking for the third we came across the Sea Lion Cave. 

There was a lighthouse right by it. Neither one of Us had seen a lighthouse before so it was awesome.

These sea lions were right below the road just chilling.

 So when you get there you go into this gift shop buy your tickets and walk down to the elevator. The elevator takes you 200 feet down to sea level and you see this...

Isnt it so cool!! Today they said there was about 250 sea lions and they were LOUD! It was awesome to see them swimming around.

They were everywhere. Most were sleeping. This is the largest sea lion cave in the work. It was discovered in 1894. And I really wonder how the guy found it. 

The big rock in the middle was a very popular rock. Some were fighting over it.

These are some of the first bones found and they were really high up! Once you saw what this guy had to climb it was obvious why he died. 

On the other end of the cave was this view! You cant see it but there were a ton of birds!

It was super cold down there! I had to remind stefen we were under ground!

This is the most photographed light house in the world. 

There was suppose to be a statue in this photo. Obviously our goal was not achieved!

 After several hours we finally found a beach that would work for us. So we packed up our towels. blanket, kite, and the cat and found a perfect spot.

Stefen flying the kite. Can I please just insert that it was way too easy to get the kite in the air! I'm not joking. It took no running, no throwing, and no multiple attempts. One try, let all the string up, and TA DA!

We have a flying kit!

Clear up there!

My turn!

Hulk was not so sure of the sand!

Har har!

This is how Hulk flew the kite! Hiding!

CUTE!

Once we got back to the blanket this is how hulk enjoyed the blanket. In his kennel with the worst made blanket in the world!

So pretty!

 So this is where we get to the story of the day. So we walked out to the water a bit where the sand was moist but the water wasnt up there. We put Hulk down so he could feel it and let me tell you folks my cat is a germaphobe! He HATES being dirty. So I thought we would be nice and dip his feet in the water. We got to a spot where we had seen the water come up and touch. We waited there for a couple minutes and nothing was coming. So we decided to walk out a little farther. We folks we learned that water moves and changes its level and intensity constantly. I had hulk and was not ably to run. Stefen was able to run away. The water got up to Hulks neck, my knees, and Stefens ankles. Hulk did so good he sat there till the water went down and then I bent down and he hopped on my shoulders. He didnt cry the whole time! I felt so bad. We packed up and went back to the car. We got Hulk cleaned and settled then worked on us. I unfortunately had to loose my pants for the mere fact of all the sand and I was cold (I did cover in a towel! Dont worry! We arent going R rated on you). Stefen had to loose his shoes. Luckily because of some issues with my toe I had my man flip flops on and Stefen squoze into them. We were a pair! 

Hulks new ride!

Cheese!

Stefens feet. 

On the way home in Newport! Stefen liked the ship!

If you dont know it I have a HORRIBLE fear of bridges. We dont need to get into it but we needed to cross this one and it was LONG and I was freaking out! 

Some cool water front homes.

This is how Hulk ended the day. He had a very fun day! And so did we!
