Mark and Patti suggested one more Pacific Coast adventure before we part ways so we headed to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve at Moss Beach, California. It’s renowned for the diversity of marine flora and fauna and is s great place to visit tide pools. We arrived just as the tide was at its lowest ebb to discover that everyone else had the same great idea on this summer Sunday afternoon. Chuckie and Judy go to the beach. It truly was a great experience but was very much about people watching as well as appreciating nature and definitely not about solitude today. Along with a last round of hugs, it was in fact a fine finale for a fabulous family visit.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
