Gorgeous Weather at the Beach!

Saturday was another perfect day at the beach.  We woke to cooler temperatures, just perfect for a long bike ride.  The 4 of us left the CG at 8 and drove to Avalon to ride up to Stone Harbor.  It was in the upper 60's with a slight breeze and plenty of sunshine.  Those areas are just wonderful for bike riding and seeing all the lovely beach homes.  We stopped at the end of Stone Harbor to walk to the point where there is a preserve.  It is a stopping point for monarch butterflies during their migration flight to Mexico.  They will probably be there in the next week or so.  Ken and I will check it out again while we are here.  Can't believe they make the long journey only to reproduce and then die!  It is the next generation that makes the return flight!  How do they know what route to follow?  Amazing!

Doloris and Fred headed back to the CG around 11 and Ken and I rode to the center of Avalon to check out the little craft fair that was on the main street.  Very small, but nice.

We were back to Willie in time to change for the beach and pack a small lunch.  Then to the beach in Stone Harbor followed by a walk to the Wine and Micro Brewery Fair the was in the main downtown area.  Fred and Doloris paid to sample the local wines!

The evening was a relaxing one with a campfire supper, card playing (the women won!), star gazing and seeing some shooting stars, and then s'mores!  What a perfect day!  We also called and sang Happy Trails to You to Sam and Kathy Frankhouser as they leave for a 17 day trip to Italy early Sunday morning!

Can't believe the Martins leave tomorrow!

Wish all roads had such great bike lanes!
