Official Day 4
We relaxed for the morning, then picked up a rental car and headed north. Peach and Bean and I got a room in Cambria, CA 90 minutes up the coast. We used to come here a lot before we moved back to Utah. We stopped at our favorite campground/tide pools in Montana de Oro.
As always it was beautiful, even though the entire day was foggy and dark. It made the waves much more exciting! We only saw like 3 or 4 starfish. In the past we've seen 30-40 each time. But we usually came to visit in the spring/summer. Bean had fun playing around in and around the rocks. When we first got there, a rogue wave washed over the tide pools and we all raced back inland to escape it... Peach's shoes got soaked.
We finished the drive up to Cambria, walked a few shops before they closed. We ate dinner at Linn's, as we have many times in the past. I had Lamb Chops :>) We picked up some jars of Ollalaberry Jam to try.
It's been a delightful return to an old favorite place. We may have visited the 'beach' on Day 3 but where we went today were our kind of beaches, rocky, fierce, powerful and majestic.
