There are some positives and negatives about not having posted for a while, and for most they should be pretty obvious. On the negative side we have – restless readers, big gaps between updates, and a waste of space on the internet. All terrible things, but none-the-less countered by the positives of so many things to write about . And, with that, I thought that I would share a little about a exploration day that we had on Mama’s August 4th birthday (she was turning… 29, again).
I took the day off and we decided to make a tour of the Bay Area beaches, and fortunately for all the weather was absolutely beautiful. After popping through Santa Cruz we took a trip up the coast on Highway 1, stopping to pick our own strawberries, spend a little time at the California State Parks, and even a while barefoot on the beach. Of course, the beach and the strawberries were the girls favorites! (They ate more than a basket in the car!)
We finished the day in Half Moon Bay and everyone agreed that it was a downright wonderful day. Happy Birthday of course, for Mama, and a wonderful day for Papa getting to spend it with his three girls. As an aside, if you have a day to spend and you’re looking for something to do, I would highly recommend reconnecting with Highway 1 between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. If it’s been a while since you’ve made the trip, I am sure that you will be more than amazed at how beautiful the California coastline can be and for a few dollars in gas you quickly realize why this is one of the best places in the world to live. For me, of course, I get the added benefit of such a beautiful family.
Papa
