Exploring the Bay Area

So far we have tackled a little bit of Santa Cruz and enjoyed the wharf and beaches. We will go back for Boardwalk fun another day. 


The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum at San Jose was fabulous. Mummies, mummies, mummies! Lots of cat mummies, human mummies and a couple of baby alligator mummies. Even a mummified catfish! We learned a lot too. Did you know wealthy Egyptian women kept gazelles as beloved pets? The girls loved it! 

We visited tidal pools at Moss Beach. Took nothing and left nothing. We saw crabs and a whole lot of seals. 

Traveling on up Highway 1 we came to Pacifica. So many people were surfing. We definitely need to take that hobby up!
 
My eldest daughter created a lovely homage that pretty much sums up how we feel about California.
