We had a nice month in Menlo Park, including several trips and an extended absence, taking grand-daughter Penelope camping up into the Sierras. There were outdoors experiences, museum experiences, dining experiences, and cinema experiences. And other experiences, too. Our first weekend there, after jet lag, we all went to the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve at Half Moon Bay for a morning of tide-pooling. Rebecca had engaged a guide, so it was an even more informative experience.

What you come to see...marine life in the low-tide pools, mostly anemone and
starfish and mussels and such |
 |
| Anemones all over |
 |
| At age seven, P is fairly fearless and uninhibted |

Looking back toward Moss Beach, a place we have visited many times with P;
Rebecca and Jeremy were married very near here |
 |
| Star fish |
 |
| P has found a particularly good anemone |
 |
| A bit of the land-slide area |

Neat place...good preparation for New Zealand, where
Rebecca and Jeremy and Penelope will be spending some
time in early 2019 |
