The Pacific Ocean was just as spectacular as the Redwood trees - huge and beautiful and just awesome. After being there for a week, I've decided I could probably live on the coast. I don't think I could ever choose the ocean over the mountains, but I could be happy there.
We spent part of one evening at the beach. I could have spent a lot longer walking on the shore, wading in the water, and playing in the sand. It was therapeutic for me to just play I think. We only spent maybe 45 minutes on the beach and although longer would have been fun we all went away satisfied.
Nora was thrilled we were going to the ocean. In practice, she was a little intimidated by the waves coming in and preferred to stay on the beach and draw in the sand.
Zeke waded in the water with Aaron for a while but spent most of his time drawing on the beach too. You can see our group of shoes in the background here; Zeke drew a line in the sand in front of them so the water wouldn't get to them.... it worked for a while but then we had to move them back, and he drew another line.
We also visited a lighthouse. It is close enough to the shore that you can walk out to it at low tide. We didn't get to tour it because the line was still long at the end of the day, but we did get to walk around it. So fun!
Ocean view - oh I love it!
