Dolphins!

Saturday was foggy and very cool.  We opted to go for a drive, a stretch of which was right by the coast.  I always keep my eye on the ocean.  It fascinates me - plus I've been hoping to catch a glimpse of some dolphins.  Up to this point I'd never seen any.  Well Saturday my wish was fulfilled.  We saw lots of them, and they were very close to shore.  Even Randy, who has seen dolphins several times in his travels, was impressed because they were so close. What a beautiful sight to view them in "the wild!"  We pulled over, got out, and just watched them as they arced out of the water.  What a treat!  (Sorry - no pictures - it was just a spontaneous moment of joy)

The rest of our drive was pretty awesome too - up over the hills on a windy, twisty road in beautiful country.  We eventually drove out of the fog and into the sunshine, then as we returned home, back into the clouds again. 

Spring here is like that.  Cool and cloudy.  But I'm not complaining - it is still lovely.  I've heard Ventura described as paradise, and I think that's got to be a pretty good depiction :)
