Coast Cave Hike

Scout pack meeting Coast Cave Hike!

Inside looking out

Outside looking in

From the Ocean Institute in Dana Point it's a one mile hike along the rocky beach to this slit in the side of the cliffs that opens to a cave. Fun hidden treasure! 

 

There are SOOO many fun things to do in southern California and I love it here!! I don't have as many close friends as I have in other places we have lived. One of my closest friends made enough tough choices that she's no longer here. Sometimes I wonder if it's the busy stage of life everyone is in and sometimes I wonder if people here don't need each other as much as other places. Maybe people here just realize I'm crazy, ha! I don't know. That being said, I think we have an incredible ward full of good people and a safe neighborhood with good, honest people, so, life is good. I do have to consciously remind myself to slow down and take time to ponder the good in life, not just experience it. And my skin has aged 50 years in the last three, but I do love being out in the sun. And the kids are like little fish. I am a terrible swimmer!! 

Pros and cons to every place and everything. The trick is to find joy in the journey, right?!
