Dana Point, CA

You know, I don't ever recall going to Dana Point before yesterday.  I know that hubby had never been there, so off we went.  First we drove out to the Ocean Institute and stopped at the gift shop and bought stuff for the grandkids.  Then, we headed up to the top of the cliff and a nice hike down to the edge of the cliffs.  There is a path and guard rails, so you actually can't go off the path...lots of brush and rattlesnakes!  Ugh!  Finally, we drove around the harbor next to the sheriff's office where the pelicans were feeding on fish and being followed by hungry seagulls!  That was a pretty exhausting morning, especially the hike back to the car from the edge of the cliff (uphill).  I need to remember that when one travels downhill, one must come back uphill.  And, after 4 bouts of pneumonia and chronic bronchitis, I MADE IT!   :-)
