SEA OTTER CLUB

Aug 13, 2005 12:36

well boys and girls, I just got back from my lovely vacation up the california coast, and I thought it would be fitting to do a massive picture post.



so lets see here..
I really dont remember the name of the first little town we stopped in for lunch, but it was cute, and I had some fairly good tacos




our next stop along the way was HEARST CASTLE the lovely home of William Randolf Hearst, some of you may have heard of this fellow before, so we took a tour of his mansion..and basically, its gatsbys house.
























the main building




this guy liked swimming pools




the coast was amazing...kinda reminded me of pv though






tidepools! yay!


can someone tell me 5 marine animals that live in tidepools?!
the view from our room was sweet




woke up the next morning to find this..oo la la


we had breakfast in the "town" of Gorda..it was adorable, but not really a town. just a resturant mainly..




heres.. the town










reeally good pancakes




i forget where this is..somewhere in big sur...but we read the paper in a stream




ooo forest...palmer pictures




next up was MONTEREY!


my good ol bud, john steinback




and another one of my favorites...the MONTEREY AQUARIUM...probably one of the best in the US
seriously
it was awesome








i told my mommy all about bat stars


sweet sea lions and seals just outside the aquarium


OMG!! SWEET SEAL OTTERS!!!


i really am going to start sea otter club


by far my favorite exhibit


they are just the most adorable




more fishes


schooling fish to be exact


BIG fish


our hotel in monterey was right on the beach, which would have been super awesome, but it was cold and windy...all the foreigners went swimming in the ocean anyways...gotta love em


mm candy...monterey at night




soo, by the time we got to san francsico i had used up the memory on my camera...which was disappointing, but the good old fashioned regular camera was there to save us. unfortunately those pictures are still developing. here are the few limited pictures of one of my favorite cities ever.


our hotel room...hotel monaco..i highly reccomend it. Its in the heart of the city, two blocks from union square (which holds the best shopping..like...ever.)


we ate lunch at some hippy artsy resturant in berkely...they had no ketchup for my grilled cheese.
finally..my favorite place in san francisco


wahooo
seriously awesome
so i'll give you a laundry list of what i left out
visited sfsu and usf..didn't really see sfsu, had a tour at usf..which is awesome because its in the middle of the city, is also catholic, but has an amazing church...and its old
shopping in union square..yum
ran around china town
crashed a chinese wedding
ate at the empress of china (excellent)
visited mums 98 year old friend
got a free massage at our hotel
lots of jacuzzz
we stopped in santa barbara on the way home for some state street action
and thats pretty much it...oh! except for the best part of the whole trip

I ATE BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS
yes sir
i woke up and walked a block to starbucks, got hot chocolate and a croissant, and ate it outside of tiffanys while looking at the window displays....yum.
good stuff.
