My mom is visiting for a week. This is her first time in California in a couple of years, so we have a lot of catching up to do. Today we headed out to the coast. <\/p>\n

First stop was the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, a hotspot for tidepooling thanks to its extensive reefs and rocks at low tide. It was blustery, but lovely, as you can see from this shot in the beach:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I also got this fun panaroama shot from the same bench on a bit of land which stuck out in between two bays:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next stop was the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, where we enjoyed a delightful brunch from a table overlooking the ocean. Mom even found a single dish that combines two of her favorite foods: Eggs Benedict and Dungeness Crab!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We then walked along the bluff at the Ritz for a few minutes, before retiring to the deck chairs in front of the hotel for an hour of pleasant conversation overlooking the 18th Green of the Ritz’s Old Course:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we drove down the coast and stopped at San Gregorio Beach to drink in a bit more salt air. We sat on a bluff above the beach for about a half hour, enjoying this great view:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, we headed home for a well-deserved nap! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
