Tonight we took the kids to see their first grunion run! Of course, this means we had to drag our kids out of bed at 10:30 at night and load them into the car for the drive up to Cabrillo Beach to meet the fish a little before midnight.

| Beatrice: "We go to the beach instead of sleeping in our beds." |
There we joined about a dozen other grunion-watchers and some volunteers from the adjacent aquarium.
The whole beach glistens silver under the moonlight, and you can watch all the little individual fish make their nests, mate, and return back to the sea.
We also saw several lucky sea lions eating as many grunion as they could catch. Even a few seabirds were in on the action.
Then a quick stop by a local taco truck before we put the kids back to bed a little after one.
