Jerry's birthday weekend!!

This weekend we went to Pismo Beach to celebrate Jerry's birthday. Saturday night at the Sea Venture. We left home on Saturday morning and had breakfast at Alphy's. Full and satisfied we went to see the Bucket List. Loved that movie. Checked into the hotel. This is the view from our hotel balcony.


From the beach this is the hotel. The weather was so beautiful while we were there. And to think this is only 1/2 hour from home.


We walked through Pismo, stopped at a pool hall and had a beer and sweet potato fries. Again walked all over Pismo in my new MBT shoes. These are the most amazing shoes. The soles are curved so you have to constantly balance yourself. http://www.swissmasaius.com/
Had dinner at Rosa's......butternut squash ravioli......very yummy. Back to the hotel to sit in the hot tub on the balcony under the stars. Such a beautiful night.

After breakfast in bed the next morning we took a long walk on the beach. A man on a horse went galloping by on the shoreline. It made me almost cry. I miss my horses so much. And then I remember one of my horses, Blu, so hated crossing water. Even it if ws a trickle of water she would bunch her legs up and jump. She was veyr silly about water.

The gulls were everywhere. Iliked this one with his reflection in the water.


We set the camera up on a post and took this photo. The there was a breeze so our hair is blowing about but still sunny and warm.



The birthday boy!!! That is the Pismo pier in the background.

We also visited Butterfly park. If you look closely you will see a clump in the trees. Then when you look closer you realize that that clump is moving.


There are millions of monarch butterflies at this one park. They return each year to the eucalyptus trees there. It is like a fairy land with all these butterflies flitting around you.

It was a perfect weekend. Great food, beautiful weather and I got to spend it all with my bestest friend. I couldn't want more.
