La Jolla Beach

After shopping at Carlsbad Premium Outlets Mall, we went to Costco and got some meal for picnic last Sunday.
It was a sunny day and a great day for picnic. :)
We went to La Jolla Beach and sat on the grass facing the ocean.

While having meal, we enjoyed beautiful scenery. We could see clear blue ocean and green grass, many wild animals and many people.
Some families were looking for fish. Some pelicans and sea gulls were flying.


We also saw a squirrel during our picnic.

 It was so cute, wasn't it?

Then, we walked around the beach.

Some people were surfing.


We got very close to squirrels.





We could see many seals. La Jolla Beach is a famous location for seals. We can see seals all year round there.

They were lying on the beach.

And there were some baby seals! I had never seen wild baby seals. So, I was excited to see them!

The babies always followed their mothers and stayed together.
One baby was suckling. :)

 

And another baby was swimming with mother seal.


There were many pelicans on the rock.




We enjoyed a lot last Sunday. :)
