Greetings from the Road: Day 3



Cap and I are watching our second episode of Battlestar Galactica in the living room while Miss A snoozes one floor above. We finally found a use for our baby monitor!


Santa Cruz. Same coast, same bulbous slimy kelp, but oh so so so different from Cambria. Addie got to play the bongos in her first street hippy band and eat tofu scramble. After one night in our "funky" b&b I actually feel more at home. For the first 4 seconds I wanted to hop in the car and drive south again but after a walk on the beach, a hike in the redwoods, an insanely good grilled cheese on oatmeal molasses bread and then green tea ice cream, I was rather liking Santa Cruz. Of course, it also helps to hang with Cousin Nicholas and Alisabeth who graciously chowed down on vegan food with us at our b&b after Addie got a bloody lip from an overly rambuncious romp around the restaurant.

Tomorrow we head to Humbold County to stay 3 nights with Cap's pal Jason D.

bulbous kelp is gross. But i can't get over how completely mobile little A is! Poor fat lip!

Your vacation sounds wonderful, and most of all a real get-away vacation, and a get-to yourselves.

It is fantastic seeing Addie on her own, her own woman, standing poised at the edge of the world. What a wonderful photograph. Even though I know she is walking, to see her by herself like that is a bit of a shock. She grew up on us and goes her own way (okay, parents carefully alert).

Glad you are having fun. Keep the updates coming!

Battlestar Gallactica is the bomb! Yeah I know it's geeky, but one of the best shows on TV. So much better than the original. Enjoy!
