Silas got to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time&#8230;or any ocean for that matter.  He was terrified at first (I think the sound of the waves scared him), but warmed up to it fast until we couldn&#8217;t keep him from bolting toward the water every chance he got.  We stayed in a campground on the beach &#8211; quite relaxed and surfer-like.  And then swung though Joshua Tree on the way home for some bouldering.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a class=\"imagelink\" rel=\"\u201dlightbox[California]\u201d&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/California\/California_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/California\/California_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSilas&#8217; first day at the ocean.
