It was about time we headed for the coast again. We have been up to so much chicanery in the mountains it is a nice change up. We went to a beach I am familiar with, Crystal Cove.

We payed for state beach parking facilities this time, which meant a 1/2 mile hike down to the beach. Being early and all we pretty much passed out for a while.

Yeah, I know you want a close up on that shot.....

The morning gloom as I turned in for some shuteye

Once we got up I did little tide pool exploring while Lance went straight into the water.

This is the rock that Lance later molesters

Lance concludes the Pacific is one cool ocean!

Lance Ponders the great mysteries of the deep Blue ocean

Then Lance does his thing

The pinnacle of any Crystal Cove trip, sandwich and a shake at the Shake Shack.

A view from the Shack eating area, just in view, some of the construction going on down in the Cove.

Roast beef, avocado and sprouts on sourdough with pineapple shake...So tasty!
