While I was excited to see my littles, I didn't want our trip to California to end! (We had 8 spectacular days already packed full: 1 - Muir Woods, 2 - Sausalito and beyond, 3 - Wine Country, 4 - Solo in SF, 5 - SF to the Max, 6 -Yosemite , 7 - Yosemite rainbows , 8 - RVing in a Vineyard.)
We had a fun morning planed before our flight to get in one last adventure! However, it was an even earlier start then planned, as I was awoken to some loud animal digging underneath the camper where we were staying (half asleep I didn't know if it was under the bed or what). It was enough to spring me into action and ready to get out of there! The coffee was so old and bad that we couldn't even drink it and had to stop at Starbucks on the way out of town (gasp... I know...it was the only option)!
However, our morning was more than redeemed upon our drive closer to the airport and getting to Half Moon Bay for the best morning walk ever! The rains held off and we held hands while exploring around this amazing site!
There were beautiful flowers all along the trail adding bust of colors throughout!
I had a pretty hot guy to walk with as well!
The people we passed (there were few) explained that this location was Lover's Ridge, marked by the many shells that represented such a beautiful spot.
Just my lover and I.
Deep breaths to take it all in!
We came across several other lookout spots that needed to be checked out!
At first Beach didn't want to head down the stairs to the beach but he decided to join me (and noted that he was glad he did). It was pretty amazing in itself.
The "sand" seemed to be made up of many small pieces of shell.
I had to check out the massive cliffs at the shores end...
and they were covered with these stunning tiny little sea creatures (I have no idea what they were).
After a bit we decided to head back up the stairs and walk the while back to our car.
We then drove the short distance to town and explored a bit before heading to lunch.
The main street general store had chickens for sale!
We admired the many murals on display....
I have a vague memory of eating at this spot over 15 years ago. It was a treat having my memory pull up this déjà vu experience. We then enjoyed talking to (and taking home) an olive oil shop owner. We had some fabulous food and then headed to the airport with plenty of time to spare to figure out returning our rental car, check out the yoga room at the airport and catch our flight home.
There so many times throughout our trip that my jaw literally fell open as another new mountain or peak or view blew me away. God is so amazing and I love being able to get to bask in His bigness and creativity, seeing my creator in such a new way and connecting to Him even more. I don't mind solo traveling but the part that gets me is I want others to see the beauty too. For them to know and experience what I see and feel, as I don't want to keep it to myself. I suppose that is a lot like the gospel! I am so thankful that Beach was able to join me on the second part of the trip and we have sealed these memories in our heart (and blog) forever! I can't wait until the next trip, whenever that will be!
