Oceanside

Dec 20, 2009

Last minute getaway with a friend of mine. I didn't want to drive too far but wanted to get out of town for the weekend. We decided to go to Oceanside... only a few hours away and about a half hour north of San Diego. The weather was abit overcast but still nice enough for shorts and a t-shirt, well maybe a sweatshirt.

Oceanside pier was right in front of our hotel room. Very nice view!

Kind of overcast all weekend but it still made a nice relaxing weekend that totally went too fast.

View from the pier.

On the pier some pelicans decided to hangout by the bait shop. Amazingly, there were a lot fo fishermen and women out fishing for sardines. We watched a few and as soon as they dropped the hook they would catch a fish. You could see the fish too jumping in the water just waiting to be caught.

Different day but probably the same pelicans.

Me at the beach.

We wanted to go snorkeling and had heard there was a great place in San Diego but the day was very windy. We ended up just walking around and spotted several baby seals still with fur resting on the beach.

San Diego is home to Camp Pendleton, a Marine base so there were all sorts of planes and helicopters out.
