A day on the coast and at the beach

// July 3rd, 2009 // General

Christine and I both had today off since tomorrow is Independence Day so we decided it would be fun to go up the coast and go to the beach. We packed up the car in the late morning and headed over Hwy 17 and then up Hwy 1 towards our first destination: Pescadero.

Back in October Christine went to the pumpkin patch with the Werles in Pescadero while I was in Florida for a conference for work. Ever since then she has been raving about this artichoke bread at the Country Bakery there. We decided to have lunch in Pescadero so that I could finally experience this bread.

We got to the bakery and got our bread (fresh out of the oven I might add) and some deli meats and cheese and headed to the picnic area they have behind the bakery for some delicious lunch.

After lunch we drove back down the coast a bit to Bean Hollow State Beach. It was a really nice day — Not too warm, not too cool. It was a bit overcast at times, but overall very nice. We caught a lot of our fun on video including making sand castles, burying feet, playing with a hermit crab and then walking like a crab. We also got to see a family of dolphins jumping out of the water right off the shore.

Overall it was a most excellent day.
