Princess Sparkley wanted to collect sea shells so this beach trip on August 25th was strictly a sea shell gathering event, not a playing in the water event. So, we brought Grandma and Grandpa along.
It was a clear enough day that we could make out Anacapa Island (didn't show up well in the pictures though). We saw a swarm/heard/gaggle/group of pelicans and some other interesting sea birds. There weren't a lot of sea shells, mainly halves of mussel shells. But just as we were heading back toward the pier and toward the car, I spotted a sand dollar! We also saw the Goodyear Blimp.
Afterwards we went to Toppers Pizza on the Channel Islands Harbor for lunch where we got to use the new
touchscreen Coca Cola machine* and see some New Orleans Saints football players at the salad bar and soda line.
*Grandpa was *daring* and tried Coke mixed with Diet Coke (his favorite). Grandma was a little more brave and had 95% Coke with 5% Coke with Lime. The kids and I tried: Peach Sprite, Raspberry Sprite, Vanilla Sprite (my favorite), Grape Fanta, Lime Fanta, Orange Fanta, and Vanilla Rootbeer.
