Next it was a week in San Luis Obispo -- a favorite place of ours for very good reasons. It's a fun town with lots to do in a beautiful setting. And it’s where our son Paul and his girlfriend Kat live.
We went out to eat -- probably too many times -- at a small fraction of SLO's great restaurants. We were treated to a lovely dinner at the home of Kat’s delightful and gracious parents. We took the dogs (many times) to an off leash dog park at El Charro Regional Park, which was close to where we camped. We went to downtown San Luis Obispo's huge Farmers Market. Paul and I took a shopping trip to an outlet mall in nearby Pismo Beach. We all drove north to see elephant seals near San Simeon. We were entertained by Paul and Kat's four (yes four) of the best-behaved house cats I have ever seen.
We love you, Paul and Kat!

A few of the elephant seals at the Piedras Blancas rookery in San Simeon, CA. The northern elephant seal is the largest seal in the northern hemisphere. Adult males weight up to 5000 pounds and are 14-16 feet long. The seals spend 8-10 months in the open ocean, then come to the land-based rookery to give birth, breed, molt and rest.

| Kat and Paul. Jim said, "Gee, Paul looks like he's 35," sounding surprised. Well, he almost is. He's our baby; our kiddos are all grown up. |
