Birch Aquarium and La Jolla seals

Rod had been scoping out good places to snake, and wanted a warm sunny day, and that day had come.  Charley and I dropped him back at San Diego NWR and headed to La Jolla, to the aquarium.  She loved the eels.

Always making friends

 After doing everything we could at the aquarium, some 2-3 times, we still had time to kill before picking Rod up.  The guy at the front desk turned me on to "Children's Pool", where seals congregate.  They are Harbor Seals.  It was amazing!  Charley also threw a fit after leaving here - apparently she really liked the seals!

We bummed around the park for a while, meandering back to the car

 These 5 little boys were playing in the sand in the park (NOT a sand box, but that didn't stop them!).  It was too cute - Charley sauntered over, they didn't even look up.  She crawled over one and sat on another in an effort to get in the  middle of them - again, they acted like she wasn't even on the planet.  She started playing among them, and they never batted an eye!

We picked up Rod at 6 - he'd struck out.  :(  We had our third Indian supper of the trip, returning to the place we'd eaten on our first night.  After I got C to bed, Rod stayed with her while my high school friend Qiana picked me up at the hotel.  She toured me around downtown, then we sat at a restaurant and caught up.  It was nice.
