Nostalgia 2



I finally found some pictures of one of the things I miss most about living in California. I absolutely loved going to the coast to visit the tidepools!!! We would take off on a Sunday afternoon and head for the coast. The kids loved climbing out on the rocks to find all kids of sealife. We had two favorite places to find creatures. Rockaway Beach in Pacifica had the most starfish, sea urchins, sea anemone, coral and so much more! But, Pebble Beach (not THE Pebble Beach where they play golf, a different Pebble Beach), just north of Santa Cruz, was the most fun because there are lots of rocks you can walk out on to find sea creatures. The rocks are slippery, and you have to sometimes watch out for waves crashing into you, if you go out too far, but climbing around on the rocks is just so much fun! The weather is very unpredictable. In Fairfield, where we lived, it could be 80 degrees and beautiful. But, when you get to the coast, it could be cloudy, overcast and 50 degrees! Which is what happened to us on the day these pictures were taken. We took some of our employees with us. It is something we had talked about doing for a long time, and we were finally able to find a date that they could go with us. It was Father's Day of this year.






At Pebble Beach, you could climb out as far as the seals. They would jump in the water if you got too close. But on this day, they were pretty sleepy and we got some great pictures of them.


Another thing I really miss are my Girls!! These are a few of our employee's. THE BEST employee's and FRIENDS ever!! I miss them soooo much! I miss hanging out with them, scrappin' with them, telling them what to do... hee hee! They were truly the very best girls I could have asked for. We share so many wonderful memories. Scrapbooking just won't be the same without them there to laugh with and share all our jokes together! Love you guys!!!

I've never been to tide pools, but it looks really cool. I bet my kids would LOVE it. We will definitely have to go.

It does look beautiful!! I am not sure the trade off of looking for geckos in the backyard amid the cactus is much consolation!?
