Pacific Beach

After Ruby Beach in the morning, we drove down to the sandy "play on the beach" beaches. We decided to stop at Pacific Beach in Moclips.  The sun was out so that was nice. I was still cold but with my big brown coat, I was mostly fine! 

Elizabeth fed the seagulls. 

The rest of the day was just playing on the beach. 

Elizabeth found some interesting creatures. 

The sand was right for building the drip castles they like. 

We drove down to Ocean Shores because that was where our hotel was. We headed out to the beach there to watch the sunset. It was getting cold at this point so we didn't stay too long again. Apparently all sunsets over the water are very cold!! 

Pacific Beach, San Diego

We spent the afternoon and evening on Pacific Beach in San Diego. The kids had great fun. They made a gross seaweed castle. We saw dolphins swimming. 

We got back to our hotel just as the sun was setting. It was very pretty! 

Here is the exact same view in the morning. 

Here are some views from our hotel in San Diego. 

After packing up, we headed north! We were officially on our way home. We drove back up through LA and on to Yosemite. 

I liked how some of the highways in California had these pretty flowers growing in the medians.
