adventure seeking in La Jolla


We have favorite things we enjoy as a family but we really enjoy seeking out new adventures, too.  Today's new adventure began with a picnic lunch at the Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla.  What a fun place to simply hang out and enjoy a gorgeous afternoon.  The wind was strong today along the cliffs and the paragliders were loving it.  There were so many paragliders out today!  We also saw a r/c airplane, a glider, airplanes & helicopters, and countless birds fly overhead.  It was neat to sit so close to all the action and watch all the work that goes into paragliding.  None of us had any interest in doing it ourselves, but we all enjoyed watching them today! 
The La Jolla Village area was extremely busy due to the holiday weekend.  Luckily the cave we wanted to visit is located at one end of the village area.  There were many, many steps down into the depths of the cave, but the end result was a nice view of the ocean.  Afterwards we walked up and around the cliffs before stopping at a Haagen Dazs for ice cream.  It was a beautiful day to be in La Jolla with perfectly warm weather and clear blue skies -- and a couple of fun new adventures for our family!
