Beach trip

The kids had a day off and so did my mom so we headed for the coast for the day.  This was Hope's second visit but I forgot my camera the first time.  Also this was her first time actually on the beach and in the water.

We first ate at one of our favorite places Mo's.  We got clam chowder and it was delicious!
Then we walked along the bay front and showed Chase's friend Seth the sea lions on the deck.

Then it was off to the aquarium.  We now have a membership so we are planning on going more often.  They had part of it closed for a new display that will be opening soon.  The kids enjoyed touching the starfishes and other creatures.  Also watching the seals and otters.

We then had a little time left so we let the kids run on the beach and even get in the water for a bit. 
Everyone had a great time, Hope especially enjoyed running away from the waves with grandma.
