Determined to touch sand and water Tony drove us to Half Moon Bay, thinking we'd get out for 20 or so minutes and play in the sand - that way our beach day wouldn't be a complete bust. We start driving in, and there's a huge sign: NO DOGS! Um...why would you allow horses, who sh!t giant turds everywhere and their owners (or riders?) rarely pick it up, but no dogs? (BTW - I packed three plastic baggies for the inevitable "just in case" poop.) Normally we would have ignored the no dog rule, but they had rangers monitoring the beach, and you had to pay to park. We figured the parking guy would see Ramon and tell us to turn around.
So, we started driving aimlessly when Tony takes a sharp right after seeing a sign for "Cowell Ranch Beach." Never heard of it, but whatever. We park our car, put Leila in the jogging stroller, and it's a good thing we did because it was about a 3/4 mile walk to get to the 100 or so stairs that lead to the beach. Sheesh - it was my workout for the day. We finally got down and Tony got to touch the precious sand. Ramon and Tony ran along the water, and then Tony took Leila from me to try and put her feet in the water..... hahahahaha! She was not having it, and honestly I can't blame the girl - it was cold and the water was colder.
So, after wasting probably $40 worth of gas the only ones who touched the water were Tony and Ramon, and that was only when the tide came too close while they were running. Next time we decided to have a beach day we'll be smart enough to check the weather reports.
