a mossy landing

Today we went on a fun outing to Moss Landing. It is a little fishing community about 10 miles north of where we live. Right on Highway 1 there is a little produce stand with locally grown fresh produce. The prices are wonderful, and the produce is very fresh and very delicious. There are also other assorted goodies to be had. Right next door is a wonderful deli (and bar). We didn’t eat at the deli this time, but a few weeks ago when the whole family went, we had sandwiches and chips at the deli. The sandwiches were amazing!

We went around to the fishing docks and saw the “vicious sea lions” – apparently you’re not supposed to get very close to them. One was bobbing in the water right next to us, and I tried to walk past him, since only the tip of his head was out of the water. As i walked past, he rose up 3-4 feet out of the water! Ack! Needless to say, I backed off pretty fast. Vincente loved the sea lions, and the boats, of course – but what he loved the most was making me crazy by bending over to pick up the (very yucky) muscles left out on the docks and throwing them into the water. I have never been more nervous in my life.

   We went with our very pregnant friend, Dacia, and with our new mommy friend, Michelle, and her little baby “Epan” (that’s Vincentese for “Ethan”)

The weather was great. A little on the warm side, but it was beautiful and clear and made for a really great day. And we wore out both my babies (and me!) which makes for a very peaceful afternoon at the Rowleys.
