Our family trip this summer was a visit to central California. We have seen southern California a few times, but this was the first time for many of us in the family to see the middle part of the state. The beaches are more rocky, and the temperature is much cooler than Southern California. I was continually surprised at how cool it was considering it was the middle of July.
The coast had a rugged beauty and we had a fun time exploring some of the tide pools,
meeting some intriguing creatures and watching as the tide moved in.

| Chance was a little crazy, it was a cool day and Chance is the only one who got down to his swimming suit. The rest of us wore jackets with our shorts. |
Chance actually met some students studying here in the United States from China. One of the girls shared the same name as Chance so she wanted to get a picture with him. Chance got a moment to practice a bit of his Mandarin too.
We all took a turn holding these little starfish. They were beautiful.

| This little crab actually pinched Chance's brother. He kind of had it coming since he picked it up. |

| We did not see jelly fish at the beach, but we saw them in the aquarium. There is something magical and serene about these creatures when you watch them floating in the water. I am sure that may change if you actually encounter one in the water, but watching them from a distance is calming. |
