Just Chillin,
we spent last week doing
just that ... kind of!

Last Monday we met our Escondido kids at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park Campground in Northern California. Having spent at least a little time in most of the Western states, we had never been to this
most impressive place they call Big Sur!
WOW - what a gorgeous, uniquely beautiful and amazing place.
From enormous Californian Redwoods, sheer coastal cliffs, to sea caves that fill as the tide rises and a crystal clear freshwater creek that cascades into the Pacific Ocean, Big Sur has it! I could continue to describe this wonderful place but this is one time I will let the pictures do the talking!
As for the above title of the newsletter, most of our chillin' came by default after 4 days of hiking over 1 1/2 steep miles up Valley View Trail, riding bikes around the expansive 171 unit campground, exploring sea caves and hiking another mile over massive boulders to experience the
rock jumping/swimming hole! Oh yea did I mention that my pathfinder watch told me that the creek's temp was a refreshing 67 degrees?
Throughout this week my body reminded me that I just had another birthday this summer. As the thought of whining would creep into my head, it was quickly interrupted by our 4 year old granddaughter yelling out,
"Come on Papa - let's go"!
We had a fabulous time but are looking forward to getting
back to work to get some rest! Ha Ha!
Happy Chillin' Quiltin'!
