Katie and I woke up at about 6 AM this morning in the quest for pumpkin pancakes.
You see, the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival was today and the festival kicks off with a pancake breakfast that starts at 7 AM. The festival itself doesn’t even open until 9, but as there’s only three routes into Half Moon Bay, all the roads are entirely clogged by 8 AM or so.
We made it down to Half Moon Bay before the traffic hit and were able to indulge in some delicious pancakes. We then spent most of the rest of the day walking around, admiring the expensive homemade crafts, watching a juggling unicycle show (that I participated in!), watching a lame parade, meeting up with some friends, eating a sausage sandwich, sitting in a gazebo, eating pumpkin ice cream, seeing a future Mike Yin, going to a haunted house, leaving the festival, eating hummus, and collapsing at home.
It’s been a very long day, and it’s not even 9 PM yet.
But we conquered today. We did everything we set out to do, and even a bit more. We went big. And then, we went home.
