Hello Pacific!
On Sunday we took a trip to Half Moon Bay, located about halfway between San Jose and San Francisco. It was a lovely day at the beach. We flew Elijah's kite that Emily had given him for his birthday. He was absolutely captivated by it. At the coast Emily was very curious about the succulent foliage covering the hills at the beach. I in fact actually knew the name of the plant. One point for me! They are called Ice Plants, the name is given because in the correct lighting the plants look they are made of ice crystals. After the beach we had lunch at a fun little hole in the wall place called The Flying Fish Grill. It was incredibly good, we had fresh caught halibut fish and chips and fish tacos.
Emily has also been working on the quilt, as you can see from the photo it is really coming along. Elijah now refers to it as his quilt or "Ya-ya's quilt" as he gave himself that nickname when he was first learning how to talk. Elijah is really enjoying having his "G-ma-ma" here. They wake up every morning and have breakfast together and let me sleep in *so nice*. This morning he was doing his "ready-set-go" routine where he wants you to race him the length of the house. He doesn't much like it when you get ahead of though, he will stop in the middle in say "head back" and motion you with his hands. G-ma-ma was happy to play along, they both are having the best time.
