Portland: food trucks, green, good beers, fun bars, awesome new friends, houses with porches and beautiful yards, and inexpensive. Love it.

Boat ride around the bay.

Last weekend, my mom was visiting and Clyde’s friend was having a birthday celebration up at Tomales Bay/Point Reyes. A bunch of us drove up for a couple bags of fresh oysters and a picnic in the sun. So nice!

Adventure day! We went to foggy Half Moon Bay, ate lunch on Miramar Beach there, drove to another beach - Montara State Beach, and then went to another - Gray Whale Cove. Afterwards, we kept driving up the 1 to Pacifica, where we grabbed a round of cheap cocktails, a dozen oysters and some ahi tuna while watching the sun slowly set over the ocean.

California never fails to amaze me!
