So odd


This picture was just too odd not to post.  It is a Turkey....I think. 

Oceanside Pier




I'm back.  Wow, those Holidays really take up all your time.  I have been too busy to blog. We headed down to San Diego and LA for Thanksgiving so we could celebrate with both sets of parents.  It was lots of fun and great weather.  The downside was visiting Walmart on Thanksgiving Day.  I wouldn't have, but needed to purchase a last minute Birthday gift for Jesse's Gma and surprise, surprise it was the only thing open.  I didn't realize at the time that I was risking my life.  It felt safe enough, but we did see stacks of boxes that were marked "Do not place on floor until THE DAY" or something menacing like that.  An upside was Historic Oceanside Pier.  
Oceanside Pier is a little gem.   It is one of the longest wooden piers on the West Coast and spans 1,942 feet in length.  The pier we visited was the 6th to be built in Oceanside (the rest destroyed after many bad storms) and was built in 1987.  The really cool thing about this pier is Jesse and his sister's names are engraved into the pier.  On any given day people can be seen fishing, strolling or eating at Ruby's Diner located at the end of the pier.  Very serene and good old fashioned fun.
