Trying to capture the pelican, which appears at the left edge of the frame. (I'm not rushing this one to National Geographic.) 

Some sort of Air Force installation.

Eventually, the excitement proved too much to handle.

Hiking around Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay. 

Watching Daddy play. 

Oh my! 

He feels the water now! 

Do you think he knows what's coming? 

Thanks to Mara, Luis, and Azucena for hosting the "fourth month" BBQ. It was such a treat to see the families together! 

Nothing hits the spot after a huge brunch at St. Francis Fountain like a tray full of sweetbreads. 

Mark stopped by to meet the family. 

Julius tries his first taste of banana. 

On the plane back home! 

Nana entertains Julius without the aid of her shirt.
