Relaxing in Half Moon Bay

We definitely did not get into the water though many kids did. Sydney was too busy getting the sand out from between her toes most of the time and enjoying the picnic. Nothing beats fresh ocean air whether it's overcast or sunny.

After the beach we did our nursery stop at Half Moon Bay nursery - the best garden center in the Bay Area. Packed the car with hydrangeas, blueberries, cosmos, and cone flowers. During the ride back home, Sydney got her first experience with a big black bug. The discovery happened on her arm at the midspan of the San Mateo bridge. At the first exit, we calmed her down. The bug, however, was not forgotten in her dreams. Cries of "bug","bug","bug" haunted her for the next week. Let's just say, bug is one of the first ten words she learned.
