The California Coast in July

Helmut and I just got back from California. He had a meeting in San Francisco and

I decided to tag along. It was a nice break from the heat in Utah. After his

meeting we spent a few days on the coast with his parents. The first picture

is of them walking back from an hour of sitting on a bench at the end of the pier in

Pismo. They really enjoyed just soaking in the ocean air and watching all of

the activity there.

This is the beach in Pismo..........a favorite family spot when our children were young.

We were surprised how cool it was there.........definitely called for a jacket.
How quickly we forget!

The bench...........

Rick, Reagan and Nick brought grandma & grandpa to the coast....

We met them in Monterey. Here we are getting ready to order a yummy bowl of

clam chowder.
