squirrly squirrels...

i don't know how many of you have driven right along the coast, but dude...everyone needs to experience it. the drive was really slow due to the fact that their were sharp turns right along the cliffs. i'm serious...on the highway you hug a cliff on one side, and the other side is a steep drop to the ocean. i think i got to enjoy the view a lot more than the tedward did because he got car sick after a while. poor thing...



luckily, there were MANY "vista points" where you were able to pull off to the side and enjoy the brisk ocean breezes and stunning views. this was at one of our favorite vista points...

doesn't the ocean look so frigid? i bet it was, because the outside air was in the forties! the forties! thats as cold as it gets in the dead of winter in mesa. awesome.
(ignore my hair...i have no idea what is going on right thuuuuur)




i took a picture of this poor fellow because he was just so ugly. i felt bad for him. all the other seagulls were chillin' together, being fed pieces of bread...but not this little guy. probably because he was so hideous. in the end he was lucky because HE ended up on the internet. AND i gave him sun dried tomato wheat thins. SUCKAAAAAAHS!

here is the tedward, looking..."special".

and here i am...looking "special"...except it wasn't on purpose.

now, for the MAIN reason why we enjoyed this particular vista point the most...

there were TONS of little squirrels! i'm not joking when i say that there were 20 squirrels...srsly. they were everywhere! and they were so tame. you could crouch down, stick out your hand, and they would run up and sit in it! i didn't do it, because i don't like rabies, but apparently ted likes rabies because he played with them foreverz. i think i could have written a dissertation in the amount of time ted played with them. if the tedward dies from rabies...i will be auctioning off his Lord Of The Rings book tapes. kthanxbye!

if you didn't know it already...i heart the ocean.

ted thought i would contract an aneurysm or something fatal when i looked over the steep edge of the cliff....but i was just fine. yah...i rule.

a few miles away from the vista point, we stopped at yet...another beach.

i ♥ the tedward.

i had been messing with the settings on my camera for a while, and when i finally looked up, i saw ted drawing something in the sand...

and when i peeked to see what it said...

...i smiled.
