Kayaking and snorkeling in La Jolla

Against Sophie's wishes, we headed back down to La Jolla to go kayaking and snorkeling.  The original plan was to leave earlier and also hit the USS Midway in San Diego, but you know how the early starts have been going......

Before we headed out

We got all geared up and then headed out.  We rented a waterproof digital camera, but it got all fogged up, so there really aren't any pictures from today.  Was pretty cool going out against the surf waves.  We saw several people flip, but Abby and I made it and so did Amy, Sophie and Evan in a three person kayak.  Saw some neat caves and got to go in one.  We then got to snorkel in the area.  This was the part Sophie did not want to do.  I stayed with her and she ended up doing AWESOME.   We were the last two back to the boats.  She was pointing out the fish to me (and also waving to
them).

This would have been a cool pic of Abs and I

On the way in, we caught a wave that was supposed to push us all the way back into shore.  Made it about 3/4 of the way before it turned us sideways and then flipped us.  I guess that is why you wear helmets!  Amy, Evan and Sophie also flipped.  Thinking Sophie would be freaking out, I left our kayak and started running their way - she was laughing her butt off.  No harm, no foul. 

After some burgers, we went back to the seal beach area and checked out the tide pools from two weeks ago.  The tide was in, so couldn't do as much as last time.  Got to see some dolphins also swim by.  Those are also cool.
