Day 7

Beach Day! ….our body count on this trip was rising and I worried nobody would ever travel with us again…Brad took us to Torrey Pines State Park. We did a long hike that was awesome. We saw tide pools with crabs…and the boys all put their feet in the Pacific Ocean for the first time…well technically Jacks second…he was 6 months old the first time. We hiked back to the main beach, changed into swimsuits, and turned to play in the waves….only to see the lifeguard running up to everyone getting them to leave the water. That’s when we noticed all the emergency vehicles and the coast guard helicopter come in. There was a missing young man and they pulled all the lifeguards to help. We watched the search for about an hour and decided to leave…you don’t really want to swim and play where someone may have just lost their life. We moved on to seal beach…always a favorite. This time however there were no seals…bummer. Next we tried Mission Point and it was still a zoo. It wouldn’t have been fun. We had a group meeting, checked Twitter for updates, and decided that we should go back to Torrey Pines. The coast guard gave the all clear that the missing person was unconfirmed. Good to know that everyone was safe.  This was our best decision to go back. The kids had a blast playing with Brad in the surf! Got back to Pats in time to catch the last sunset😞 Tomorrow morning we start our adventures on the trip home.
