Girls Camp at Rucker Lake a really beautiful spot

There is a peace and harmony found at Rucker Lake, it was nice to just breathe and watch early in the morning

Wendy Vance notice these along side the road and we had to stop and smell the .. sweetpeas

Just before the campfire the sun wouldn't actually set on the lake because of the mountains but it sure got to be a beautiful reflection before the hubbub and noisy songs

This mother would swim over and around the swim paraphernalia and just kept going on about her business

There were two duck families and a Canadian Geese family

Such a really great place to be!

Monterey Aquarium - education at hand level

Rachel and I went with Laura and Dominic Nausin to the Monterey Aquarium to see, touch, and hear about animals, creatures, and sea life that wouldn't be available otherwise. Fantastic!
