Saturday June 2nd, 10 am, I pop out of my bed thinking ‘oh no, Cathy comes in today, at LAX, in one hour!’ so I scurried around and somehow made it there only 10 minutes late (usually about a 1.5 hour drive).  Then we booked it down to Carlsbad (about 1.5 – 2 hours) for Rachel’s surprise shower.  We ended up arriving at the same time as her.  We were exhausted afterwards and just rested that evening.  San Diego was the packed day with a trip to Balboa Park, surfing at San Onofre, driving through the gaslamp district, visiting the seals in La Jolla, snorkeling in La Jolla Cove, and having dinner in Old Town!  San Onofre was surprisingly rough that morning but Cathy was a real good sport and got up once!  That wasn’t the only time we were at the beach of course.  We went to Coronda Del Mar for a the Sr. Luau, and once just to lay out in the sun.  At the Luau we saw more seals and had our fill of campfire food. 

Curt and Joy were baptised in the ocean that evening as well.

Earlier that week we drove around Back Bay and saw…get this…A MOUNTAIN LION.  I’m not kidding, at first I thought it was a coyote but it was way way too fat for that, and when it saw our car it “cat jumped” into the bushes.  There are people using that trail all the time for biking, running, taking field trips, just hope no one gets mawled!
