Morro Bay

Yesterday, we arrived in Morro Bay. After getting settled in our motel room, we headed out to dinner. Chris found a Parker friendly restaurant called The Flying Dutchman,which was sort of pirate themed. Nice!


The next day we hit the beach. First we went to explore around Morro Rock. Parker made ''mud castles'' and sand angels. Later, he and Chris explored the tide pools and found a hermit crab, which they brought back to Mommy, who was relaxing on the beach, reading a book. After Parker and Chris returned the crab to the water, we headed over to the other side of the Rock to check out the Strand.

On the Strand, Chris and Parker fly a kite. They did pretty well and were able to get all the string out. But after a while, the ocean called to them so they reeled in the kite without crashing it into the beach or into me. Then we took a walk on the beach.

On the beach we chased the waves, avoided slimy seaweed, and looked for shells. Chris found a live clam and we watched it bury itself back into the wet sand. Heading back in for the day, Chris also found beached jellyfish, to which Parker exclaimed, "Gross!" (Smart Boy!)
