Memorial Day at Cabrillo National Monument

After the cemetery, we finally decided to visit Cabrillo National Monument. This was our first time, even though we had seen it there, year after year. We waited too long, because we had a fantastic time at the tidepools.


The kids enjoyed searching for crabs and trying to catch the small ones.


Joseph finally caught one.

There were a lot of crabs in the shadowy crevices of the rocks, but they were quick and good at hiding.

It was a breezy and slightly chilly day (high 60s to low 70s), but usual for this time of year near the coast.

The kids had fun exploring every crevice and tide pool.

We also found blue sea anemones. They would suction to your finger if you touched the center.


The kids also had fun playing chicken with the waves breaking on the rocks.
