California Coast
We have spent the weekend in Bethesda at the Small Press Expo, where we sold a bunch of books and talked to a lot of very interesting people. More on that to come.
I am headed to Baltimore early tomorrow morning, and so will just post a photo or two from our California trip before turning in. After the wedding, we spent a few days driving along the coast.
We stopped by the side of Route One along Tomales Bay, intrigued by this sign.
Alden tried very hard to eat my barbequed oysters.
And very much enjoyed her first dip in the Pacific.
The day was spectacular.
We stopped at the Point Reyes lighthouse.
We marveled at the whale skull.
We photographed the birds.
And the seals.
Apparently, the seals were hilarious.
We stopped at La Taqueria.
I enjoyed the burritos.
Alden enjoyed being the center of attention.
She was handed around for about 20 minutes.
Which left plenty of time for enjoying my dessert.
The next day, we drove south.
To Pebble Beach.
If anyone knows who created these wonderful little piles, please let me know.
We saw that iconic tree and, in spite of ourselves, felt compelled to take a photo.
We drove south past Monterey, where the coast gets hilly and curvy.
And even more spectacular.
We stopped at Pfeiffer Beach at Big Sur.
Where Alden enjoyed the sunshine.
On the way back through Montarey, we stopped at Point Lobos to see the cypresses.
Robbi (Kato Behr) found a gas station very much to her liking.
And then, miraculously, one that pleased her even more.
We drove back toward San Francisco as the sun set.
Of all the wonderful things we saw in California, perhaps my favorite was this, Alden's latest discovery.
In other news, she has just begun to crawl, a development that, while most exciting, is not easy to capture in a still photo. I invite you to stop by and have a look the next time you are on Queen Street.
