Above – Throwback photo from Maya’s 2nd Birthday. I figured throwing back would be a good idea on this BIG birthday! I hope you have a great day, Jen.

There was a big happening on my Monday morning walk at the foot of Orchard. I couldn’t find anything online as to why three news crews, one police car and two City workers were hanging around, so I did some sleuthing of my own. 

I found this interesting article on the OB Rag website from September 2, 2015 that might explain why one of the City workers was digging around on the side of the bluff. He was probably attempting to block the cave so some derelict doesn’t go getting him- or herself killed. Click on link or cut and paste into your browser: http://obrag.org/?p=98592#.ViVKMdZX9FI

Bear and I quickly became bored and moved on to our favorite private beach to take advantage of some photo ops. That is, after she rolled in a pile of dirty, stinky seaweed covered with flies near an old washed up lobster trap. Yuck!

I love the clouds and ocean contrast in this first photo.

Bear didn’t seem to mind the smell. In fact, I think she was quite proud of herself!
  

Later, after meeting up with Bruce … A bird’s eye view.

Trying to catch the photo during mid spray was tricky until I decided to hold my finger down on the button. See, I’m smarter than the camera!
  

The Martian – Thumbs up.

Matt Damon – Thumbs up.

Cinepolos Luxury Theater Del Mar – Thumbs up. Big, roomy, cozy recliners & good customer service, delivering our XL, extra buttery popcorn directly to our seats.

It’s been a long time since we’ve gone to a movie. I don’t even remember when or what movie we last went to last. I read the book (great read!) so I was interested in how this could be made into a movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
