We had a quiet New Year's Eve at home with everyone staying up to midnight (just barely) and making a huge popper mess of the floor. The next morning we drove through SF and out to Half Moon Bay for lunch and to spend some sunny/chilly time at a marine preserve, which unfortunately timed with high tide. No starfish or octopi this time, but lots of rocks to juggle. To complete our circle back home, we visited the Redwood City house and then ate at Speederia Pizza in San Carlos for the best dinner $6 can buy you (two amazing thin crust slices and a fountain drink).
