Steve Flight Day

Steve's flight wasn't until late at night

on March 21.

We had an entire day to play!

We decided to drive over to the coast

to a town named Pacifica.

Sophia was so cute coming back

to make sure I was coming to breakfast.
After an amazing drive over and through
the mountains, we arrived at the beach.
Stopping to look at the flowers
on our way out to the beach.

Sophia is a huge fan of rocks...
I wonder where she gets that from?

Here she carries one for a while.;

Another rock!

Steve took Soso's shoes off
so she could feel the sand in her toes.

She shot straight for the water!

Wait!
Daddy down!

She wasn't going to let

Steve nap on the beach!

"Dah-dee"

Back to the water!

With Daddy in tow...

Of course, with him,
she ventured further into the water.

Chasing birds

I turned to take a photo of this gull...

If you notice,
her front is entirely wet and sandy.
I missed the face plant in the surf.

We figured we could strip her in the car,

dry the clothes out on the dash...

let her play and have a good time!

The coast line was beautiful cliffs
with a curvy highway.

The next stop was a little
marina- Pillar Point Marina

Sophia sitting on a boat cleat

The crab boats would come in to their
slips, park, and hang a banner-
"Fresh Crabs!"

We had to go check it out.
Sophia was not impressed
with the live crabs!

Shot of what she saw,
they were moving all around.

We ate dinner at a little seafood

restaurant on the coast.

It had a great view of the ocean.

Sophia ate her first piece of fish,

and loved it!

(I had spaghetti...shocker!)

Steve had a big old plate of fish!

After a wonderful last day together on the west coast,

we went back to the hotel.

Steve caught the hotel shuttle to the airport.

Soso and I fell asleep waiting for

Grandma Karen to land that night!
