We set up quickly and fell asleep to the sound of waves. It was so dark, we couldn&#8217;t know how close we were to the water, and looked forward to the morning to reveal where we had landed.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning, the beach was ours to claim, cold and beautiful, and we did claim it, most of us in a commando crawl on the sand to stay warm and out of the wind. Mark, of course, took on the waves with little boy zeal in a longer, leaner version of himself than the last time he was at the beach. I knew I was watching some of the last of his childhood as he moved to attack the waves with kicks and leaps. He will be more reserved next time. I will brace myself for that.<\/p>\n<p>Two favorite memories from this leg if the trip: an eclectic and well-stocked used bookstore and an old fashioned diner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611184701.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15016\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611184701-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611184701-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611184701-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611184701-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611185949.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15017\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611185949-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611185949-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611185949-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/20180611185949-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Good surprises from Half Moon Bay: a new friend at the campground named Dave, flowers everywhere along the path to the beach, Daniel&#8217;s videos of Mark, and we became faster at folding up the pop-up trailer each time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181210707.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15009\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181210707-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181210707-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181210707-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181210707-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181115564_BURST001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181115564_BURST001-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181115564_BURST001-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181115564_BURST001-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180611_181115564_BURST001-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Menu: chicken salad on pitas, breakfast burritos, pizza, diner food, roasted hot dogs, and cinnamon sugar doughies by Mark and Richard<\/p>\n<p>Essentials: jackets, heater, books, magazines<\/p>\n<p>Favorite conversation: at Grandma Ruth&#8217;s house about &#8220;The List&#8221; of things she is not supposed to eat anymore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180610_203919828_LL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180610_203919828_LL-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180610_203919828_LL-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180610_203919828_LL-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20180610_203919828_LL-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived at Half Moon Bay after dark on a Sunday night.
