Road Trip!

For Spring Break we drove down to Encinitas, CA to see my family. We decided to take a few days and make some stops along the coast. One place I have wanted to visit for a while is West Coast Game Park in Bandon, Oregon. They have all kinds of animals there but the best thing about it is that you can pet them! We got to pet a baby black leopard and a baby lynx. They were both quite spunky even for just being 3 months old. I also held a white skunk. The picture is pretty bad because of the horrible face I was making! They will have baby tigers later in the summer.....I may have to go back!

Beautiful! Can you see his spots?

A growing baby! Black panthers have always been one of my favorites.

Keesa, a Siberian Lynx. It was so cool to get to touch such a wild animal. Even though she was a baby who has been handled since birth you can still feel the wildness in her. She seemed to really want to go after one of the deer that were walking around!

This baby baboon was about the cutest thing I've ever seen! So tiny! Too bad they don't stay cute though!

This is on eof my most favorite places....Nepenthe in Big Sur, Ca. It's the most realxing place you can ever be. The sun warms you as you look out at the beautiful coast line while enjoying a delicious lunch and glass of wine. I didn't want to leave.

In the garden...
The view...just a couple miles from where Joe and I were married.

We did some fun stuff while in San Diego. This in an indoor go-cart track. They are electric cars that can go up to 45 mph. Alex had fun racing!

These are Alex's 2nd cousins (my cousin's kids), Django, Morgan & Teah. They had a great time hanging out together. Even though they only get to see each other every year or so they always jump right in where they left off. I guess cousins are like that!
