Beach Quest

Today we wanted to find a good beach at which to spend an afternoon. Our strategy: pull up a map of the area on Mapquest and drive around. We found Des Moines Beach Park. It looked like a beach on the map, but when we walked down a path to a pretty expansive beach, we found that it was fenced off, and the only place to lie out in the sun (not our goal in any case) was the grass.

Zorah had fun anyway climbing the rocks that bordered the path on the ocean side. She sang and climbed and crawled all the way back down the path.

We went to the small, rocky beach closer to the parking lot for a little while. But it just didn't seem like a nice place to spend a long time.



We headed back home, stopping first to eat at a mexican restaurant called Azteca. Apparently it was one of a chain. These restaurants are light, airy, and decorated with all sorts of tile and plates. Zorah said it looked like a Mexican palace. She took this picture because she was so impressed with the decor.


Not a very eventful day, but a good one.
