Rock on, Morro Rock! It's actually a pretty impressive piece of geology once you get close enough to see its beauty, not to mention the thousands of seagulls, pelicans and other birds using it as a habitat. Apparently it's the second largest estuary south of San Francisco. Not only the birds love that area, however; I've never seen squirrels hanging out right on the rocks of the beach, waves crashing right next to them, until this one right near Morro Rock. There must have been twenty to thirty squirrels just like this, relaxing seaside with an afternoon snack. We had fun walking out to it from the harbor where we walked the docks and watched the fisherman haul in some pretty big fish. Eli's burned feet were healing at this point, but we still preferred having him in the stroller, and he was a good sport about it for the most part. Bennett took over driving his stroller at one point, which meant some wild and crazy zig-zagging down the sidewalk and through the beach parking lot. I was sure they'd get hit by either a jogger, cyclist or that teenage driver getting his thrills from doing donuts in the dirt. They didn't, however.
