Teeter-Totter on the beach Mt. Tamalpais State Park
Along with my wife Monika and my brother and his family, I went to the beach today at Redeo Cove in Mt. Tamalpais State Park just North of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was windy and chilly… so windy there is not much audio worth hearing on the video, as the wind was just whipping past the microphone of my camera.
The surf was pretty active, and we all kept our distance from the water. But the real fun on the beach was the makeshift all natural teeter-totter we discovered. Since teeter-totters have mostly been removed from playgrounds, I haven’t been on one in a very long time. These all organic models we rode today were even better than commercial models because even multiple adults could ride simultaneously.
Rochelle, who my brother and his wife have known since they were all undergraduate students in Washington, also joined us with her husband Henry and their inquisitive and well behaved young son.
Before we went to the beach, we toured the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, a short drive from the beach. This center has a hands on kids area where children can learn about marine mammals. The center is partly solar powered, and the installed panels provided shade to the recovering patients. The center is essentially a hospital for sick or injured sea mammals.
