California vacation part 2

Besides visiting Disney three days while in California, we also took a quick Amtrak ride down to San Diego and back along the coast, hit the beach, checked out the Rose Parade floats on New Years Eve, and visited my mom's horse.

The ride back was during the sunset over the ocean. It was pretty spectacular.

Nearby Dana Point was a cool place to see the ocean up close.

This kind of looks like an album cover.

One of the many tidal pools. Nothing cooler than mollusks and anemoneas though.

This was a pretty rocky "beach."

The boys did a great job stacking up some rocks.

OK, actually we found them like that.

This was the tallest float in the parade. It had to bend over to go under the overpasses.

Not my mom's horse.










































Also not my mom's horse.













Nope.












That's him. Champion cutting horse Sammy.















A girl and her horse.

Cool brand.

Great picture to end this segment with.
