Just a Jog

Decided to change up my run route the other morning, so we tossed the stroller in the car and headed down to the pier.

 

I’d been told that the view was nice and the path was decent (read: stroller-friendly)—both quite true.  Also exciting was the proximity of the path to the train tracks; if you look in the first picture you can see the tracks there along the beach, then look in the second picture, from right to left you have bushes, path and, yep, those are the tracks right there.  THREE trains passed by us while I was running—the kids were ecstatic!

As I was nearing the end of my run, I couldn’t resist stopping to snap a few pictures to share with you.

        
Then the kids found a swingset so, of course, we had to stop for that too.

We had some time before we needed to be anywhere that day, so we left the beach and trekked uphill a little ways.

         
Semper Fi park and a Marine monument sit at the top of the hill and overlook the pier and beach area.  It made a very nice place to sit and eat the snacks that we’d brought.
