We took an afternoon trip to Half Moon Bay yesterday because Adam had never been and I really wanted to take the girls tidepooling. We had an early dinner at a well-known seafood restaurant and then headed to a marine reserve to see what we could see. It was chilly and a little windy, but we saw enough to keep the girls entertained for a bit. I'd definitely bring them back on a sunnier day when low tide is more mid-day. The highlight was seeing a ton of harbor seals napping on the beach and swimming in the ocean. We also spotted a lot of crabs, hermit crabs, large sea anemone and shells. We were hoping to see a starfish or something else new and exciting, but no such luck this time. It's still fun navigating the slippery rocks and searching for sea animals!
