We were originally planning to drive down to LA last night but at the last minute realized the timing of the trip just wasn't right so we stayed home instead.
This morning we got up and the weather was gorgeous. We were contemplating what to do with the day. It's the first weekend of the month, so we could take advantage of the Bank of America's "Museum On Us" thing. So we could go to the Legion of Honor and do the Sutro Bath hike. Or we could go to Golden Gate Park and do the deYoung Museum and botanical gardens.
After tossing around ideas and not committing to any of them, we decided to just walk to the farmer's market first to get some groceries and decide later. Several stands were not at the market today. I'm guessing it was because it's Easter? Not sure. Our prized purchase today was a gallon of the yummiest apple cider. It's made by a farm that grows apples and it's just apples with no other additives. I can't describe how good it is with words. It's really fresh, light, sweet and yet not saccharine. We can drink 2 cups of this thing a day. In fact I already had 2 cups and I can have another one now.
We're so blessed to live where we are. Half Moon Bay is only 45 minutes away. We decided to go all the way to HMB downtown first to get some food and catch all the nurseries on the way back.
David did a bit of research and found this store called Alena Jean Flower Shop & Nursery. I can't believe we never knew about it after having gone to HMB so many times! It's such a cute place...except it was closed because of Easter. Which will turn out to be the motif for the day as you will see. *Sigh #1.
On our way home I remembered that Carlmont Nursery is on the way! Maybe we could catch a nursery after all! Carlmont is where we got our bamboos two years ago and is a gorgeous nursery that specializes in Japanese maples. So we headed over. I accidentally took a wrong exit and ended up on Highway 280 so we had to make a u-turn. It just so happens that the exit was also a vista point so we went to take a look. David was excited about the spontaneous "adventure" while I was annoyed that I took the wrong exit. Here is David's "Yay! Adventure!" face.
So we got home at around 5pm and David took a nap. I decided to join him and that's how I lost 4 hours. :) I really don't know how to nap because mine is always at least 3 hours. Well, that was our Sunday. It was a bit sad because so many places were closed but it was still nice to get out there and walk around.
