Today we left Bakersfield and headed for the coast. None of us had ever seen the Pacific Ocean and we were excited. As we got close we noticed the fog. We stopped at a pullover area and took some pictures. It was slightly foggy. The next pullover was awesome. The fog seemed to back away from the beach area. Jacob was thrilled to see an Elephant Seal. We walked down the trail a little and found even more. We were pretty close the them but kind of on a ledge away from them. The rest of the drive was VERY foggy. This road was very twisty and seemed to go up the side of a mountain. A couple of times we were above the clouds. I tried to get a picture but they didn't turn out very well. I was kind of bummed because I planned this route to be able to see the ocean and we only got to see it at the very beginning of our 4 hour drive.
We got to our hotel at Marina and the fog was bad here too. Took the boys to the beach anyway and Michael and Jacob just had to get there toes in even though it was about 53 degrees. I wanted to get sunset pictures but it wasn't meant to be...maybe tomorrow in San Francisco :) The best part about San Fransisco is I get to see my friend Christy!!!!! Going to be now so we can get back on the road at a decent time.
