At one end, the city of San Francisco meets the ocean. It's a dramatic place with big, cold waves, rocky outcroppings, cliffs and ruins. I'm a big fan of Ocean Beach. It's almost an anti-beach. You don't see rows of people suntanning or prancing around in (shudder) bikinis. It's filled with people playing frisbee with their dogs, runners, surfers in wetsuits, people reading and a few brave soles swimming around in only swim trunks. On one end you can build bonfires. On the other end you have Seal Rock, the Sutro Baths and The Cliffhouse.

The boys loved the ruins of the Sutro Baths, especially Finnian!

He loved digging around in the sand inside the ruins. I was just holding my breath hoping he didn't find something gross or cut himself. He was super excited about all the "sea glass" he was finding. He knows that I love sea glass and I didn't have the heart to tell him it was just broken beer bottles. He loved it just the same and I left with a pocket full of treasures.

The tide was out and the kids enjoyed the combing the sides of the rocks for starfish, crabs and other little sea creatures. Steven took them up on top of the rocks.
