Año Nuevo State Park

 Congrats to Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers on winning the Super Bowl!!! It must be super exciting! It was a super nice weekend weather wise, the sun was out and it gave us 70 degree weather in February! On Saturday my best friend and i were out and about the city eating at Patxi's Chicago Pizzawhere we got an amazing parking space after 20 minutes of searching. On Sunday i woke up to find my mom making french toast! It was a very nice surprise. i spent the rest of the day-minus getting mani-pedis with my mom and little sis- cooped up inside studying for a Physics test on pressure (which i am beyond unprepared for). Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Getting ready for a fight

 Last week on Wednesday my Marine Bio class went to Año Nuevo State Park to visit the Elephant Seals. It was a very hot day and it smelled but other than that it was fun looking at these huge creatures (babies can way 200 lbs), we saw some mating, fighting, nursing, and a lot of sliding in the sand.

Copulation. BTW the little blob on the side is the mama's pup!
"What's going on?"

It was a beautiful day to say the least. 
Squaring Off!
Ouch! They are some fiesty/ territorial animals!
There were so many Elephant Seals!
