It was a rude awakening to go from lazing about in the California sunshine and balmy beaches to homework in the harsh breezes and snowfall of Utah but it's only a few more weeks 'til Easter and I think that I can make it...hopefully. I had a really relaxing week in California we went to the beach a couple of times and we went to the San Diego Zoo but mostly we just wandered through orange groves and laid by the pool.
Apparently it is the fad to have purple flowers in your lawn. It is called ice plant and it is a very popular thing to have covering half your property. But, I have to admit it was very beautiful especially when combined with the bright orange poppies.
There were some amazing sunsets. Almost every night we would go out and watch the sun go down. It was even more amazing if there had been a fire earlier that day, which did tend to happen.
The Picture of the Seals was actually not at the Zoo. We went to a beach in San Diego called Seal Beach it is there natural habitat. It was very cool. The picture is of a mama seal who had just given birth. FYI seals smell like stinky wet dogs. gag.
Anyway, It was a real thrill.
