I hope you all had a great Memorial Day! We got to spend the day together as a family and we loved every minute of it! I can't believe we live this close to the beach and we've never gone! Chad has been a few times with the YM, but the girls and I have never been. Bri is almost 4 and has never been to the beach so she was so excited! We went to Tennessee Cove near San Francisco! There is aboutt a 2 mile hike in and out, and it's "somewhat paved!" As pretty as it was, I'm sure Chad had quite the workout pushing the stroller up and down these hills! Thank heavens for him because I wouldn't have been able to do it! Good thing our girls are as light weight as they are! (For anyone that may want to go there, the trail breaks off to a "lower trail" and it is sooooooo much easier than the main trail! We took it on the way back!)
The girls loved playing in the sand, even though it wasn't the softest or warmest sand!
Bri played in the sand most of the time building sand castles!
Miranda was hilarious! She LOVED the beach! She thought the sand was funny, she was constantly doing her "laugh growl" because she was so excited! A few months ago it would've been a nightmare to take her because she would've constantly been eating the sand! She just played with it, signed "water" as she pointed to the ocean and walked around the best she could on the uneven ground and in the wind constantly laughing and smiling! She thought it was funny when she fell over and she even rolled in the sand several times! Let's just say she had sand in places that would've made anyone uncomfortable!
This picture cracked me up as she inspected this new stuff called "sand" on her fingers. She was so intrigued by it!
The water was FREEZING, and you're not supposed to swim at this beach so this is as close as they got! 
Miranda was an absolute trooper the whole day...the car ride, the hikes and all despite waking up at 5 am and only taking a short nap in the car both ways!!! 
Bri had so much fun, but she was disappointed when we left and she hadn't gotten to swim in the ocean yet! We're going to Disneyland this weekend and we're hoping to take her to a warmer beach while we're there!!!
She came home tuckered out, but we had a fantastic and unforgettable Memorial Day!

I love that area out there--we went to 6th grade science camp at the Marin Headlands and got to hike down to the beach, but without a stroller :)
Hope you find warmer water in LA. That's one thing I love about the beaches out here--they are SO much warmer!
Oh...I love the beach. Sounds like a fun day!
It looks like you had a really fun time there. Too bad you couldn't go swimming. I didn't see any other people, was the beach that secluded? It looks like a great place for future trips. I can't believe how big your girls have gotten. Bri is 4 already too? Time sure does fly.
