Here is Nathan and Samantha on the beach…

Josh wasn’t sure if he wanted to get too close to the water so he tried out different rocks to sit on…

Samantha and Timmy finally covinced him to get a little closer…

I guess he got a little too close…

He decided to go back to a new rock…

I had to get a close up of his feet because they had so much sand on them…

Nathan decided to sit down in a safe place where our shoes were…

I was taking pictures and then noticed my shoe go floating by me and it dawned on me that my shoe was up far enough that it shouldn’t be in the water. All 8 (kids and me) shoes had been taken by a wave that had come up higher than we expected. Nathan managed to rescue them all. Then we put them up on a higher rock instead of the sand. When another wave took them out to sea again, we decided to call it quits and climb back up the rocks. Of course, Nathan came to our rescue again and managed to get all of the shoes back. Needless to say we all returned to the RV soaked! :)

I had so many good pictures (I took 85) that I had a hard time deciding which ones I wanted to put up so I decided I would divide them into three posts. Two posts with pictures of the family and one post with just pictures of the scenery. We had to walk down a rock incline that the kids did very good at. Here is a look at the rocks we climbed down.

Timmy made it down first and went to the edge of where the water was and then a wave hit him and knocked him over. His shoes came off and Nathan had to make the first of a few shoe rescues of the day. First we took pictures of Nathan and I with the kids with the ocean behind us.

Nathan and the kids were enjoying watching the waves…

Timmy and Samantha were playing with the sand…

Until a large wave came too close…

Timmy didn’t appreciate being hit by a wave for the second time…

I took the kids to the playground…

Then they talked me into taking them to the pool….

Looks like we are turning into the crazy people who are swimming in January but compared to the weather we have been in the last few weeks it is blistering hot. :) Not quite but it is nice to have the windows open all day and a wonderful ocean breeze. Now we are off to put our feet in the Pacific Ocean. Pictures to follow when I get back…

The drive to San Francisco was much easier for me than the drive to Reno. For one it was only half the time. For two, I drove the truck which was much easier for me on the winding mountain roads and city traffic. We checked in to the San Francisco RV Resort early in the afternoon. The windows are all open and the short sleeved shirts are on!! As much as I don’t like CA I will enjoy the next couple of weeks thawing out. :)

The staff is very nice at this park. It is south of San Francisco but within a 20 minute drive of the city. We are in sites #43 & #44 which are both large ocean sites. The sites are very close together.

However, the view would be hard to beat.

Things I like: The view!! The ocean breeze!! Full hookup sites with cable, laundry on site with a dozen washers and dryers.

Things I don’t like: Spaces very close together, pricey but what do you expect from CA near a large city.
