img-20170224-00035After a couple of days of travelling south, we finally met up with our BC friends in Dana Point, CA.  We had stayed there the previous year and enjoyed it very much.  The state park is right on the beach, so I could more than satisfy my urge to walk on the sand.

In the 2 days we stayed, we managed some long walks, a bike ride and a great tea break at the Dana Point Marina.
