Lily was asleep when we arrived. She woke as I was putting her in the wrap, but she was quite content to stay in the wrap the whole time we were there, making my job just that much easier :D Being at the beach in thick fog means I have to keep an even sharper eye on my kids, and only having one to keep an eye on was just fine with me!
We ran races, we investigated the statues, we watched the surf, we collected rocks, and we enjoyed the fog that was SO THICK that we literally got wet just walking through it.
After an hour, we went to join Tim back at Node Knockout. Parking was a little tricky; the signs posted on the street had different instructions for different times of the day and different days of the week. As I was getting my kids out of the car (and Jack was dilly-dallying getting out), I commented to the guy standing nearby (waiting for a cab?) how hard it is to figure out if it's legal to park there, ha ha. He said "Yeah, that tow truck in front of your car is just waiting for you to walk away."
*gasp*
He was right! I'd seen it there but just couldn't fathom that it was waiting for me to walk away. I quickly re-read the signs and realized I had 20 minutes until I could park there legally. I got Lily back in the car and told Jack to buckle back up. As I was getting into the driver's seat, I noticed that two official-looking vans had stopped, on in front and one behind my car. They drove away as I did. WHEW! I was so glad I talked to the guy.... but then I was annoyed that he hadn't volunteered the info without being talked to.
Drove around for 20 minutes trying to find a place to park. (I miss Texas...) Finally parked back in that exact same spot, no tow truck in sight :D
