Back to the Beach

Yesterday was a nice day (somewhere around 60F). After Beth got home from work, we went down to the beach in White Rock (yes, for once I went to the spot where you have to pay for parking--which goes against my principles here) so we could have a picnic and enjoy the beach one last time. It's hard to say that--that it's our last time living by the ocean (for now at least).

But it's best to enjoy it. So we did. We saw a bunch of little crabs under the rocks--including a couple that were about 2inches across. Under one of the rocks in a tidal pool was something that looked like an eel. There were plenty of indiscriminate, tiny fish swimming around as well as various shellfish (mostly broken, empty shells that the gulls had gotten to) as well as larger crab parts. Anders and I even saw a minuscule little jellyfish in the water at the end of the pier.

It a partly-cloudy day, so we got to enjoy some of the mountains as well. I guess we'll at least have plenty of lakes where we're going.
