Dolphins and Seals!!

David returned from his job interview in Temple, TX on Friday...just in time for our traditional "It's Saturday, let's explore California!"  (if you are wondering about the interview, let's just say it has made the whole "where do we want to be" decision more difficult).  Anyway, Saturday we ventured to the coast....David has been dying to do this since we got here.  Water is his Disney!  As always, there is a lot of fog in the mornings here so when we first got to the coast is was kind of dreary looking but once the fog burned off it was beautiful.  At the first town we went to, Pacifica, there was a pier where people were fishing and just watching the water.  David, I think, desperately regretted not bringing a fishing pole but I am sure we will be going back!  There was a group of about 10 dolphins swimming close by....so cool!  They were pretty big too. 

Our next stop was Half Moon Bay where we stopped at a little marine preserve.  We got there during high tide so we didn't see any starfish, urchins, or other things they boast about but we did see dozens of seals; several were in the water but most were lying out on a roped off part of the beach.  Again, we will be going back....during the fall is when tides are the lowest.    GOOD FUN!!!! The weekend go by WAY too fast!


This picture is from the park this morning and thought I would include it just because!  We have met so many great people at the park and it is one of the things I really enjoy doing.
