Nathan Roth's High School Graduation (Jun 2009)

Nathan graduated from King City High School on Friday, 06/12/09. Grady and Mary Clare flew from Denver and Kathy flew from Dallas on Thursday, 06/11. They met at the San Jose Airport and were able to get to the Roth house in time for dinner on Thursday. Friday morning was spent at the graduation. As soon as the ceremony was done, we headed to Sami and Gregg's home for the party! Grandma and Grandpa went home while Kathy joined Betsy, Frank, Ryan, Gregg, and Sami at Sober Grad (all night party). Kathy joined Nathan, Brooke, Clay (cousin), Frank, and Rory for a windy day at the Lake while Betsy, Mom and Dad relaxed at the house. Sunday we drove to the coast. Monday all the boys had to work so Mom, Dad, Kathy, and Betsy played cards and visited with Lynette and Heidi. Tuesday morning we headed back to San Jose and the Denver/Dallas airports.

  • Our Sunday drive to the coast included a stop outside of Sam Simeon to look at the Elephant Seals which make this stretch of beach their home. After enjoying the antics, we headed to Cambria for a early dinner. The weather was outstanding for this drive! The Northern Elephant Seal, Mirounga angustirostris, is an extraordinary marine mammal. It spends eight to ten months a year in the open ocean, diving 1000 to 5000 feet deep for periods of fifteen minutes to two hours, and migrating thousands of miles, twice a year, to its land based rookery for birthing, breeding, molting and rest. The Piedras Blancas rookery, on Highway 1 seven miles north of San Simeon on the California Central Coast, is home to about 15,000 animals. The area is open for viewing every day of the year and there is no admission fee or reservation required. http://www.elephantseal.org/

After enjoying the antics, we headed to Cambria for a early dinner. The weather was outstanding for this drive! As the last of the adult females and then the adult males return to sea in early March, the new pups, deserted by their mothers, are now on their own. These "weaners" are cute, curious and, when the adults are gone, quite active, spending much of their time in the shallow protected regions of the ocean and in occasional freshwater ponds on the beach. They remain in the rookery, fasting like their elders, for approximately two months while they convert much of their fat to muscle and nourishment, losing approximately one-third of their body weight before they go to sea. http://www.elephantseal.org/

  • Our Sunday drive to the coast included a stop outside of Sam Simeon to look at the Elephant Seals which made this stretch of beach their home. After enjoying the antics, we headed to Cambria for a early dinner. The weather was outstanding for this drive! I think the two seals in front are Pat and Andy and the seal lumbering in from a dip in the ocean is John! We had to include them in the graduation trip :-) The sub-adult males start arriving in mid-May and the females and juveniles are mostly gone by mid-June, with the older males tending to arrive for the molt in July. The beach is frequently active in this period with the sparring of the sub-adult males. The adult males are usually quiet and more solitary on the beaches than the younger seals and females. The play fighting of the sub-adults is not for them - they get plenty of that exercise in the birthing and breeding period. http://www.elephantseal.org/

  • Our Sunday drive to the coast included a stop outside of Sam Simeon to look at the Elephant Seals which made this stretch of beach their home. After enjoying the antics, we headed to Cambria for a early dinner. The weather was outstanding for this drive! The seals are on the beach for the mold about a month. While elephant seal skin is pewter colored when new, it turns to brown or yellow with age. Unlike the breeding season when each mother seal demands some space around her for the security of her pup, during the molting season the seals, solitary at sea, often choose to clump together as close as possible. Beginning in mid-March juveniles and adult females return to molt. Their numbers peak around the first of May with as many as 4000 visible on the beaches at each end of the parking lot. All mammals must grow new skin and sluff off the old. For land mammals such as we, this takes place continuously with our blood nourishing the new skin cells as they grow. For the elephant seals, however, the cost in lost heat to the ocean of having blood circulating under the skin while in 40 degree (Fahrenheit) water is just too great. That cost justifies a second annual migration from feeding grounds to the rookery where that can be done in the balmy air of our coast. http://www.elephantseal.org/
