I'm So Graceful

We're in La Jolla, CA for my niece's wedding and it's a wonderful place for walking along the ocean. The pelicans are particularly amusing and provide a lot of photo ops.

Welcome to California! I know right where you are, and isn't it a magical location! Enjoy it for me; we drive down there any chance we get! Have a wonderful 4th!
