I think the best day we had in California on our previous visit was to Cabrillo National Monument. Last visit we completely missed low tide. This visit, we planned around the nicest day and to hit it up at low tide. We were not disappointed. Heavy on the pictures in this post because this was my favorite day and some of my favorite pictures ever.
My boys!

I am happy to post two pictures taken by other members of the family.
Oliver has become very very good with the camera. I really want to get him his own SLR.

Oliver told Peter to take a picture of he and I — WAHOOO! I don’t even have to be the one to order other people around with the camera.

Beautiful day!



I don’t know what this is, but it’s one of my favorite pictures of the day.

There was so much to see in the tidepools. I’m going to limit myself to these couple (plus that odd thing above!) Sadly, we did not find any seastars, but I lost Oliver to the pull of sand art. He couldn’t be bothered to look in the tidepools too long when there was a long flat perfect beach to do some drawings on.



The rock and sand formations there were really amazing. This was Oliver’s favorite spot. He liked how the rock formed a little bowl.

We watched the surfers on and off during the day. They were pretty far away. Sadly, this surfer guy about to bite it is my favorite picture of them…

The sunset was amazing, and the moon was even more beautiful. I love how you can see the texture at the bottom of the moon.
