Pacifica and Half Moon Bay

2 weeks ago we tried to go on a hike with the San Bruno Mother’s club, but due to too much chaos in our lives – not RSVPd and arrived at the wrong meeting point and late – we failed. We had lots of fun on our own though, and we saw the mom’s club walk by from a distance while we built our sandcastle. They all had strollers, so Leilani probably wouldn’t have enjoyed that hike anyway.

Time flies (that’s why all the Baby Blog posts are so late…)
Andy says: I drew this on the sand, with a driftwood gnomon. I made it at noon and it was accurate for a little while, maybe until the next tide washed it away, like the sands of time…

Hiking on the coastal bluffs in Pacifica

If you look closely, you can see an island on the horizon to the left of us. I don’t think you can see Kaua’i from here, so it must be the Farallones (30 miles – 50 km away).

That’s San Francisco in the far distance, Ruwan’s neighborhood, with Mt. Tamalpais above and beyond.

Leilani loves to climb anything and everything. I think she had more fun on the dirt hill than on the beach itself.

Leilani and I built a strange sandcastle:

Leilani managed to take 2 pictures with her unique perspective, before she stuck the lens in the sand and got her ear pulled…

Then we went a few miles south to Pilar Point Harbor, at the north end of Half Moon Bay. We walked to the north point where there were tidal flats, and then to El Granada, and back to the harbor where we had dinner at Barbara’s Fish Trap.

Yikes! Cold!

And another sunset…

Someone in El Granada was cutting their Nightblooming Jasmine hedge, and I took some home – the next afternoon I discovered the Jasmine rainbowshadow below:

Jasmine Rainbowshadow, that sounds like the name of a My Little Pony.
