Sean's visit to Moss Beach

Sean was able to have an adventure during his winter break from university - he flew to Long Beach and spent three days with his brother, Nathan.  Then he took a bus to the Amtrak train to Grover Beach where we met him, and then drove up to Moss Beach with us.  Anyone remember the movie "Planes, trains and automobiles"?  And a bus!

Sean arriving in Grover Beach, right on time!

Before we started home we were able to have lunch with Jim at the Graduate!  

New Year's day in San Francisco.  Despite the clouds it was pretty warm - note Sean is in shorts!

Lunch!  We wanted to go to Boudins, a San Francisco bakery famous for their sourdough bread, where we were all going to have clam chowder in a bread bowl!  Unfortunately, thousands of other people had the same idea so we went to the Rainforest Cafe, instead, where we all had clam chowder in a bread bowl!

On Thursday we took a walk up to the Distillery.  The tide was on it's way out and the weather was gorgeous!

Cousins!  Jacob came over to visit with Sean.  They had lunch on the deck - burritos from our little Mexican restaurant up the road.  Then it was off to the beach with the frisbee!

Sean and Jacob - maybe I should post a picture of them as babies together?

A walk around Half Moon Bay to get some frozen yogurt.  We had artichokes for dinner the night before and then we discovered one that had "bloomed".

And then it was time for Sean to head home and back to University for his next semester.

Bye, Sean!  Thanks so much for coming to visit with us!  We'll see you and Bailey soon!
