Extreme Sailing

It's really quite something to see sailboats cruising by the bay area. Although I quipped about how this was hardly 'extreme', judging by the speed these boats went, the hubs and I were still happy we took the trouble to go, with a twenty-nine & nine-month old in tow. The outdoor, sea adventure-seeker in the hubs got pretty excited. Enough for him to whip out his phone cam & go snap-happy! (It's tough to even get him to take a picture of me & the kids on an ordinary occasion but he volunteered one shot this time! Ha, how precious when the spontaneous child in him surfaces!)

Although our target kiddo audience was actually Angel, she had fallen asleep on the way there, waking up only on time to say goodbye to the boats grouchily. It was Evan, our son, the good sport, who were roused by the drumbeat & stayed cheerfully awake, sucking his fingers contentedly while people-watching. 

I sure hope the next time when we visit such an occasion, the kids are skippity hopping, hand in hand. And the hubs and I can buy a drink, relax & soak in the atmosphere.

Below is the story in pictures.
