palos verdes excursion

Jesse and I took a drive down the coast today with our new MINI. Our final destination was Palos Verdes Drive and the Wayfarers' Chapel (about 45 minutes to an hour south), but we enjoyed a lot of the other coastal towns and sites along the way.

This is Malaga Cove - a nice, quiet, secluded beach.

This is at Point Vicente Fishing Access (although I didn't see any fishing going on).

This is Abalone Cove, where we went tidepooling. Of the coastal spots we stopped at, this was definitely my favorite.

I was so excited to check out the tidepools. I've been wanting to do this for a long time - long before we moved to California.

Sea anemones!

More!
