Against all the “tips” that we’ve gathered –
It was 5 pm, on a Thursday, January 28, 2010.  Low Tide.
In the Tide Pools between 50th and Roads End.
Finders Keepers! 
 
I love taking the dog for a quick walk on the beach by myself ~ but I discovered that the negative low tide went beyond the tide pools ~ so I drove home to pick up the family, and went to 50th street to check out some Starfish.

Just before we got to the sand, we passed a gentleman carrying a glass ball. We asked for a picture, congratulated him and talked about the timing, of him finding one where I just walked, which is now the second time someone on the same path as myself found one, and chatted as a family of God’s Timing and such.  . . . .

As we approached the tide pools, Nathan spotted a glass float! It has the Finders Keepers sticker and embossed stamp on the ball!

    
One Pretty Happy Kid!

The Finders Keepers asks us to register the found ball at the Visitor’s Center.  They give the finder a certificate of authenticity, a poster, a flyer from the designer, take a photo for their book, and have us sign the register.

The visitor center is beautiful! They have informative staff, walls of information, local crafts and artistry, a log of glass floats found, beautiful building, great experience!
