Treasure Beach

One of our favorite stops between Warren's dad's house (Milpitas) and his sister's house (Ventura) is the Guadalupe Sand Dune Reserve. We call it "treasure beach" because the first time we went (when Satchel was 3.5 and Jiro was 1.5), Warren hid chocolate coins in the sand for them to find.

There are plenty of other treasures to be found. Some gnarly seaweed and other sea veggies wash ashore that are fun to play with and seagulls and pelicans make their nests in the dunes. Many movies have been filmed here as well. It looks very other worldy.

This visit was a little cloudy and cold, but it didn't keep us from having a good time.
