Let the daibouken (big adventure) begin! |
You are ready, my little man! |
As the air in June got hot, we were off to the races to escape it! |
On the hunt for watering holes, |
or a place to refuel. |
Not one and the same! |
Our horses in order, we soon found our bearings: |
by all measures, a place favorited by mermaids and pirates. |
What do these things attach to again? |
Boats! That's right! |
By hook or by crook, there be one even WE can get aboard! |
Avast! |
No, don't stop! We just got here. Let's see what else we can find! |
Seal-back riding! |
What!? Aliens?! |
It's a tail of a whale, |
and an otter tale to tell! |
Lucky we brought our beach toys. |
Lucky I brought my beach mate! |
This sand castle cost about 10 sand dollars. |
"Hey!" |
"Yeah…" |
"I know I'm cute." |
Sandy angels. |
"Smash it!" |
"Allez!—" |
"—foot!" |
Shell shades for kids, |
and for adults! |
And even cuter adults! |
Jumbo prawns, yum! |
Crab, yum! |
Itadakimasu! |
Carrots and wings, yum! |
Wait! Where'd the crab go? |
Ice cream, yummiest! |
I'm hooked on her. |
An altar to the sea. |
Chess, anyone? |
Coffee cake and muffins, yum! |
Up the coast on Highway 1. |
Then back home we strode. |
One board at a time. |
