We started off on our road trip to Monterey, CA. We stopped along the drive up Hwy 1 to see the seals but were thrilled to also see that the ground squirrels would come and eat right out of your hand. It was fun to see Noah's reaction to the skampering little things. He probably thought they were dogs. That is what he was use to seeing. We learned that when baby seals are born they are 85lbs. Within the first month they grow to 300lbs. Then through out their life time they can reach 5000lbs. At least the males. And only 1% of males get the chance to have offspring.
