A day of dates

Phil leaned to scuba dive a few months ago, which is pretty neat. Unfortunately, all his friends want him to go diving on the weekends now, so I spend a good part of Saturday alone. I finally asked him if we could have a Saturday all to ourselves, so last Saturday he planned a day full of fun adventures!

I started the day off with pumpkin pancakes and a mystery novel~ lovely way to begin a Saturday.

We spent the morning and early afternoon hiking Point Lobos.  It was the first time either of us had been there, and we greatly enjoyed it!  The views were beautiful and the hike was just challenging enough for us.  At the end we had a picnic lunch together!

Yay us!

 It's hard to tell in this picture (I just had my iphone, since I forgot to bring my good camera with the zoom!) but these are mama and baby Harbor Seals!  The little babies were so cute scooting all over the beach and playing in the water.

I don't know what these are, but they reminded me of lilacs back home!

After our hike we headed over to the beach to get some sunshine (and maybe a nap!).  We're really enjoying living so close to the water.

To finish off our day we went to see "The Avengers".  I love when all the summer blockbuster action movies start playing!  It was great spending a day together and I'm so thankful for the few years we have on shore tour, where we actually do things together!
