Most of our time in Juneau it was rainy, as usual, but the sun broke for part of one day so we hiked down to the beach to walk around and enjoy the fleeting warmth. My Dad and his siblings grew up playing on this beach and it's always fun to hear the stories about their adventures. I really wanted to find some creatures in the tide pools, since it was low tide, but alas, it's still winter (it snowed most of the days we were there) and no sea creatures were to be found, save a few tiny crabs hiding under rocks. After dealing with all the stress and emotion of the weekend, a walk on the beach was really a nice departure.
