Capitola Thanksgiving 2015

First we sat on a bench and enjoyed the ocean.  Then we walked.  We walked to one end and back, then to the other end and back.  Then almost back to the other end.  We did a bit of retracing of steps.

The weather was gorgeous and the crowds were non-existent.

I was taking pictures . . . . as usual . . . not being able to actually see what I was capturing.  It is just so bright out there, I can’t really see.  Twice I thought I was taking a picture and I was taking a video.  On our way home, I glanced at the pictures quickly to see if I had any I could use for a post.  I laughed because it was just so beautiful it didn’t really matter that I couldn’t really see, anywhere I pointed my camera or phone, I got a great shot.  Ok, not all of them are great, but most of them.  When I was trying to get us in the shot . . . no, but just the ocean . . . yeah.

I even got a couple with the sun reflecting nicely in the shot.

We are now waiting for the roast to be done so we can have dinner.

So here was our Thanksgiving morning.  I hope you enjoy looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean.  We enjoyed it.  I also hope you had a great day — a Happy Thanksgiving if that is your custom or just a great Thursday.

    Very Nice Terre. I love how the two of you embrace such great times. We used to go to Zelda’s a lot, but then their dog policy changed. We stopped going to Capitola because there were not enough outdoor seating places for our little trio.

    We love going to Half Moon Bay more these days.

        I have not tried the Avenue Cafe, so glad you had a great experience – that is important at a restaurant!

          Yeah. John had sent me some places to check out, but I didn’t call them before they closed. I was lucky that Avenue Cafe answered my e-mail. I told her, too. I said I was so happy and grateful she answered my e-mail because we truly enjoyed our breakfast. It kind of seemed like a lot of customers were like family and they were coming in for breakfast. A lot of hellos and hugs were being exchanged. So it was a very nice time!
