the offWhites

Last night, BB and Seth and I went to see I Am Legend and holy crap, that was a freaky movie. Not what I’d have choosen if I’d had even an inkling of what it was about. Anyway, afterwards, BB suggested a riding out along the coast today, and it sounded like fun, so we said sure.

View Larger MapIt was the right answer.We left around 2 or so this afternoon, and scootered up Highway 2. It was gorgeous. I got to see more of the scenery than either Seth or BB, since I got to ride along behind Seth instead of driving myself (I hadn’t been feeling well this morning, and I didn’t particularly think it was a good idea to drive). We stopped a few times along the way. The first was to get some food - there was a pullover spot where we bought a whole roasted chicken (they graciously removed the head for us) and some coffee, and sat under an umbrella that offered a bit of protection from the wind, if not the cold.

My babushka look.

Seriously, folks, it was cold. I should have been wearing long underwear.

So cold, in fact, that I’ve clearly lost my ability to aim the camera so that we all get into the photo. I haven’t lost my ability to paste on a cheesy grin, though!

Getting ready to get back on the road.

BB’s all set!

Have I mentioned it was cold?

All ready to go! (Except I think Seth needs a scarf. Sheesh.)

We stopped again a bit later for some more pictures, since it was so pretty. Of course, you can barely tell in the pictures I’m posting here.

It was windy out by the coast - check out the bottom of my braid!

Heh. BB hates to smile for pictures. Silly goose.

Finally, our turnaround point - we found a spot we could climb up for some fantastic views of the distant and close-up landscape.

It was really pretty, but we were all beginning to feel like popsicles, so we decided to head back. I was so cold that I hopped into a hot bath as soon as I got home. Now I’m in bed, and I think that’s a good place for this post to end.

Goodnight!
