On Thursday, we checked out Crystal Cove State Park. It was right next to the hotel and it didn't dissapoint. It was beautiful, thought the tide was in, so we didn't get to check out the tide pools. We made sure to research the tide schedule and John and Bill brought the kids back later on to play in the tide pools. It was a nice, calm, relaxing day. We spent the rest of the day hanging out by the pools.
