We ate this fabulous little pizza place called Gianni's Cafe on Saturday night. When I talked to Mom about our trip, it turned out she and Dad used to go there all the time when they lived in San Fran! The pizza (and breadsticks!) were great, and I MUCH preferred it to a hoity-toity restaurant. Birthdays should be about relaxing and enjoying :-)
We took a quite lengthy after-dinner ramble, following the "Path of History" past Monterey's Town Hall, the oldest theatre in California, and several former Governors' adobes. It was perfect night, warm and breezy.
Sunday morning, we went down to the beach behind our hotel early, and found sea lion pups on the rocks! We tiptoed up to them on the tide pool rocks, and took some pictures.
On our drive back to Daly City, we stopped at a couple of awesome farm stands. At the first, famed for creating "ollalieberries" - which are hybrid berries made from other hybrid berries, and taste a bit like tart strawberries - we bought a little ollalieberry pie with a heart cut-out, some jam, and the best scone (pecan/strawberry) I've ever had!
I bet the shortcake would have been delicious too!
And thus ended an absolutely wonderful birthday getaway weekend :-)
