I got an early start to my work day with the idea that I would take a 2-3 hour break around lunch time and head south to find a beach with nice sand for Karl…thinking Half Moon Bay.

Spotted this from Highway 1…perfect! It is a beach just north of Moss Beach, CA.

The sand was sandy colored, lighter and below the tide line it looked perfect for running in. Karl walked with me but he was more interested in sniffing the steps and the plants and bushes above the beach.

I coaxed him down to the harder sand….

He looked, but wanted to go back so we did. It was a beautiful beach, but those darn breakers make a racket :)! …and the smell and the heavy air. I think we both really enjoyed ourselves for about 10 minutes and then we wanted back in the Jeep. We did get out of the fog and into some hazy sunshine, though.

We got home with a good hour to spare on my self-imposed “back to work” time…time for naps all around. We are pathetic…but well rested !!!
