Swimming at Shinsheimer

Another fine day of Staycation! Herb and Gayle were here and I wanted to do something with the family this time during the day. So after a spontaneous garage sale with neighbors we go to the Shinsheimer pool. As noted Sofia was ready before we got there.









Oh gosh, running to the pool









Looking good for lap swim









Sofia will start swim lessons in 2 wks. Now she can dunk her head and not cry if unexpected.




Later we decided to go surf with friends.We "suited" up

11 th anniversary at Cambria Pines Lodge





We decided to go on a mini vacation for our anniversary on June 3rd but Dad was here working on the house so we rainchecked till July. This was the first day of my "staycation". I took a week off and we all stayed in the area. CPL was big but the room was nice and private. It was so cozy we got there at 3:00 and took a nap.











Usnea out side the window . Our little backyard



When we did decide to explore we discovered lots of winding paths . i got an idea for our house.




Going to dinner






Dinner and wine included..







The next day we get coffee in cute Cambria and drive north of course to look for surf. Here we are up the road in San Simeon where Todd surfs Pico creek. I did a 2 hr walk on the headlands. It was beautiful.



A chair i liked



After our surf and walk we check out Robins and Indigo moon in Cambria



















Wow , after we return home the next day is Dada's birthday.
