From there we assembled the bike stroller and went for a 20 min ride around the boardwalk and parts of Mission Bay. We found a nice spot the two of us could enjoy our lunch while overlooking a cove within the bay.
The view
Lunch time!
Our bird-brained, lunch 'guest'
Our guest stood and watched us eat our food. For some reason he inched closer and closer to us, but would leap away when I stood up and bared my savage predatorial teeth. My celebration ended, when bird brain settled back into the viewing position moments after I sat back down. Alas, he really wanted that fallen piece of bread. Witness Anna feeding the birds.
After some good bird rousing (and a challenging feat to use the wasteland they call a restroom), we went to the park and played.
..that's me...
A quick 20 min bike ride back to the beach to play on the beach...
The beach was quite windy and cold, so we left a bit earlier then we wanted, but not without a quick stop on the merry-go-round!
On the way home, we stopped by Ranch 99 for a special treat (custard pancake thing) which Anna happily gobbled down. So quickly, in fact, I didn't have time to take a picture. We had a wonderful day together and began a ritual to be continued into the years to come!
