The Seals of San Diego
When we went to San Diego to visit our cousins, we also went to a place nearby in Solana Beach to see some seals! The seals were all just kind of hanging out, and we could look down on them from above. A lot of them were really, really cute, and some of them were even swimming around! Most of them were just chilling on the sand, warming themselves up on the beach! I don't think a human could EVER get that relaxed! Enjoy these pictures taken by my mother!
Elephants Seals Near Hearst Castle
Nearby Hearst Castle, there's a beach. You can't swim on it, though. Not unless you weigh 2 or more tons and you are a pinniped, at least. The whole beach is reserved for elephant seals! If you are ever out near Hearst Castle, you definitely want to check it out! Here are a bunch of really super cool photos that my mother took of them!
The Zebras of Hearst Castle
William Randolph Hearst was a man who, long story short, had a ton of money. Tours of his house near San Luis Obispo in California are simply fantastic, but it makes your own home feel enormously small. Unless of course, you have a mansion, in which case you're probably all right!
Anyways, Hearst even had a zoo on his grounds! Most of the animals that he used to have there are dead or have been given to other zoos, but some remain, like a small group of zebras! Here are some pictures that I took of them. Unfortunately they were really far away, but you can still tell what they are!

Pier 39
In San Francisco, California, one major attraction is the sea lions of Pier 39. Every day, hundreds of these pinnipeds will haul themselves out onto the docks to sun themselves and relax. They have been quite the local attraction, and people get a huge thrill out of seeing them!
