The Beach

Today we ventured to the coast to see the tide pools at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the beach at Half Moon Bay. It was the girls’ first time ever seeing the ocean. They were in heaven. It didn’t matter that it was a cool overcast day and they weren’t in swimming suits; they still played in the waves and covered themselves in sand. It was so fulfilling for me to see them in complete bliss playing at the beach. I overheard Mally say to herself, “I can’t believe I am making a sandcastle,” as if it was her life’s dream come true.

Here are the pictures to prove it:

After seeing images of the tsunami in Japan, believe me I was keeping a lookout for big waves.

I kept finding pieces of sea glass. I may have to start a collection.

The drive to the beach only took a half hour. I can’t believe a wonderful beach is so close by. It was a windy drive through the mountains to the beach, but totally easy to find. I believe we’ll be going back a lot this summer.
