Some of my family came for part II of Ben's wedding, and we had fun hanging out with them all week. One day we went on a walk along the bluffs. 
But we all stopped to watch a rattlesnake. This created a lot of excitement, as you can imagine.
I love this hike because there are so many beautiful views along the way.
No one fell, so that was good.
When we reached a beach access, everyone ran down to explore. 
It was super low tide, and there was a huge area of tidepools, teaming with life.
This was definitely the highlight of the day. It was even cooler than the rattlesnake.
Sea anenomes, crabs, sea stars, sea urchins - it was awesome.
It was hard to pull ourselves away. But people were starving at this point, so we had to hurry home for dinner.
