Memorial Day 2012 was a busy one for us.
Our first year at Stanford was quickly winding down, and we had a few activities we wanted to check off the bucket list. And what better time to do that than when dad has a day off of school?!?!
The first stop on our full weekend was the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to explore the tide pools. We had heard from numerous friends and neighbors that these are the best tide pools in Northern California, and there are almost always seals hanging out there as well.
Luckily low tide that weekend hit around 9 am so we jumped at the chance to enjoy the tide pools at their lowest. We bundled up (we have yet to spend a day at the beach without sweatshirts and coats!) and headed off for the beautiful drive out to Half Moon Bay.
The tide pools were a hit - although we were all hoping to see a sea star - complete with sea anemone, tons of crabs, some little tiny fish, and a bunch of seals. We had a really great time and would highly recommend this activity to others, with the recommendation to bring a thermos of hot chocolate!
