Morro Rock Beach

Our big Labor Day plans were driving to Morro Bay to see Morro Rock and spend the day at the beach.  We started off our adventure by walking through the downtown and checking out the view of Morro Rock from afar.  We had a little picnic right next to Morro Rock and did some Sea Otter watching before heading to the beach.  It wasn't our favorite beach to date but the views of Morro Rock made up for the not so great sand.  I think we got spoiled by the our last ocean trip and the super soft white sand at Carmel beach.  Looking at the kids as we were leaving it just looked more like they had been rolling around in the mud.  Needless to say the kids didn't seem to mind a bit and had a blast at the beach, as always.  We loved the chance to get away, enjoy the views, and take in the sight and sound of the ocean waves crashing in!

Ellie was telling us she could see the whole Earth through the telescope.

Jack made a spyglass of his own to check out the sea otters.

Then he took to the skies scoping out the pelicans and sea gulls,
we were laughing but he meant business.

Ellie found some sand dollars right off the bat
but they weren't worth hanging on to.

We brought Ellie's kite and the kids were amazed to see it flying high.
