Savoring the Last Shreds of Summer

I ducked out early on a Wednesday recently so we could pick W up from school and head south to Oswald West State Park. It's one of my favorite hikes. You go down from 101, past Short Sands beach, and out to the end of Cape Falcon. It's 2 1/2 miles each way, and probably the farthest E or W (or AC sort of . . .) have hiked.


Who loves hiking?!


Looks like I'm pulling his ears out. Really, it was just windy and that hat kept flying off.


We're a happy cozy family . . . and we're holding the kids to keep them from running off down that cliff. :-) E recruited some kind people out at the end of Cape Falcon for the picture.




Pretty sure that's Neahkahnie Mountain.
