GRANDPARENTS VISIT TO HALF MOON BAY

It has been a week since Adhoo's Grandparents came from NJ,after having spent wonderful time with Tarun Pappa.
They miss him a lot as he was spending nice time with them. Not to
regret, Adhoo too is slowly releasing his naughtiness day by day.
At first, he was little fuzzy to share the backseat of the car with them as he got used to the fact that "The entire backseat is for me!!".
But nowadays its like he NEEDS COMPANY behind.
At since his important milestone WALKING started in the presence of family, he is eager to complete his mission.
This weekend happens to be a LONG WEEKEND...that's how people here in US call it when you get either a Friday or Monday along with our normal Weekends.
Monday here,happens to be Presidents Day.Most of the Stores are open with Special Deals and Offers.
Offices mostly are closed except for one or two.
On Saturday, We drove Adhoo's Grandparents to HALF MOON BAY.

That Saturday was even more exciting. Since it was a no moon day, the waves were so violent and roaring high up! The sea level which normally is below our eye level tends to match our eyelevel.

The waves were roaring to a height of 50Ft and above! Some waves pounded on to the land where people normally sit and enjoy. They were pretty unstable to say where the waves end, so we didn't risk ourselves by sitting on the beach.

After a couple of snap shots,as the sun was setting we headed our way back to home. The drive back home was pretty long yet awesome view on HWY 1.

Nature's Beauty speaks for its own! Words are so true!

We have shared a couple of snaps taken on the Beach with you all.
