Rocky Point

We went to Rocky Point on Friday morning with our friends Janie and Mitch who live in Utah. They flew down on Thursday night, so that they could go. Usually we have an annual trip to Utah to visit them, but we had some extra buddy passes and thought that it would be fun to get a little bit if sun. Well it was fun, but we didn't get too much sun. It was a little chilly and a lot windy. We didn't get to do any swimming or laying out, but it was fun to hang out and relax.

This picture is on the balcony of the condo that we stayed in. We always stay at the Bella Sirena when we go. I love that place! It is so beautiful!

Here's the view from our balcony.

Matt was checking out the water and wishing that it wasn't too cold to swim!

We went to the aquarium in Rocky Point. There was this cute sea lion there. He was so funny. We swam around his pool made huge waves and every so often would pop up out of the water. You were allowed to feed him for $2. I convinced Matt that we should feed him, and when Matt went over to pay and get the food the sea lion popped his head over the enclosure and was watching him pay and get the food. Apparently, he knew what was coming. When Matt brought the food over, the sea lion came right up and poked his head through the hole in the fence. It about scared us to death, but he knew how it worked!

We also got to pet and feed these huge sea turtles. They came right over to us looking for food. The sea lion was jealous and was barking at us while we were feeding the turtles. Apparently, he was still looking for some more attention.
