Huntington Beach



On Wednesday we drove to Huntington Beach. We pretty much just parked in the first parking area we found, not realizing how far it was from the pier. We had a fun picnic lunch and stroll along the beach as we made our way to the pier. We stopped at Baskin Robbins for a little treat before heading down the pier. It was a fun day, but not the relaxing one I had envisioned as I am sure we walked hundreds of miles!! :o)

We stumbled upon a ball of goo that come to find out was a beached jellyfish. No worries, we didn't touch it! Jason found an amazing sand dollar in the ocean, good eye! I found a few empty oyster shells, nope, no pearls! :o( I found a beautiful starfish, that was still alive, so I scooted it back into the water. There were many people walking around with these still living starfishes, I'm hoping that they were not keeping them, big meanies!!

We ended up being at the beach for 4 hours, longer than we had planned on. I walked away with really burned owie legs :o(!! We were so tired when we got back to the hotel that we scrapped our miniature golf trip we had planned on taking that evening, we hit the hay in preparation for CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES!!!
