Michael's BIRTHDAY week...

WAIT... 1st this picture is to DOCUMENT that we r now riding bikes to
go GEO CACHEing, our latest past time.
AND we were practicing taking pictures together during the week to see
which of us has the longest arm for a couple shot. This is Dad Michael's arm.
This is my arm...
AND mine again...
OK, a geo sight ON Dad Michael's bday... His 50th find turning 61.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And this was a find... Fun fountain on Coronado Island, beautiful day
at the harbor!
This was a "virtual" find... NAME the tree and send with a poem-interesting!
This find took us 2 times to find something...
It was a big ammo case and we both tried to look for it.
Dad Michael found it FINALLY after he gave up the 2nd time...?
This find was a 1/2 kayak find in front of a store. FUN!
Found a travel bug in this one!!
Left a travel bug.
SEE the GEO sticker? That wasn't how we found it, we used a GPS...
LOVED this fountain! I was thinking IF I liked this place as much as Kauai...
Will answer that later...
