It was a good trip.

Going for an overnight trip to Half Moon Bay was a really good idea. It was soooo beautiful, and the time with Eric was very, very, nice. We didn't have to drive & drive to get there, either -- it's less than an hour away. Perfect!

When we arrived on Saturday it was cold and grey and a bit drizzly. That totally didn't matter. It was still gorgeous, and walking on the beach on a blustery day is still one of my favorite things (even if I rarely do so). After a late afternoon siesta we walked downtown, and then had a lovely dinner.

Today was bright and sunny, with blue skies. We walked on the beach in the morning, had a delicious brunch (I had brioche french toast stuffed with marsipone, with applewood smoked bacon) on main street, then drove up into the hills to a nature preserve, where we walked among redwoods and wildflowers, next to a rushing river.

This whole trip was delightful, and it served to remind us of all the things we still can do, despite the weight and worry of cancer.

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend:


It's a quaint town, but there aren't too many purveyors of potpourri.




This was when it was was chilly, when we first arrived. Isn't he cute?




There was lots o' horseback riding on the beach in Half Moon Bay.




It really was beautiful.






Today it was bright and sunny.




Most of the redwoods were 2nd growth -- the area has been heavily logged.
