Christian buried up to his knees at a Marine life preserve right near our hotel. We spent the afternoon looking for seashells, starfish, urchins, clams, and even saw dolphins jumping in the waves right off the beach! So much about this trip has been lucky.....we got to skip our promotional presentation at the hotel since our tourguide was sick, we have somehow timed it so that we haven't had to pay for parking in a number of places, and more. We are loving this California adventure!
