HMB Pumpkin Fest

Wow, I'm pretty behind with some posts. In an attempt to try and catch you all up, I'll start with the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival (er, which was almost 2 months ago). Here we go!


First off, it took AGES to drive out to HMB. Virtually the entire Bay Area decided it would be a good idea to drive out there at the same time and so we (Melissa, Noelle & Moi) got stuck on Hwy 92 for at least an hr. Go figure...I had been given fair warning but did not heed it. My bad. Anyways, when we finally got pretty close, it became pretty apparent what we came to see as evidenced by the field of pumpkins pictured above.

Pumpkin Ale on the left (not all that pumpkin-y) and guide on the right.

Pumpkin ice cream. Almost worth the drive itself. Pretty darn good (and much more pumpkin-y than the ale). Yum!

It might've been a bit counterintuitive eating ice cream on such a cold day (a nice preview of winter at the time) but it was quite worthwhile. Besides, we arrived a little late (no thanks to the traffic) and much of the booths were beginning to close).

What's a trip to Pumpkin fest without some pics of us with pumpkins! And bales of hay. Yee haw! Yes, I'm kinda cold.

And there we go. Thanks to Melissa & Noelle for coming with. Your company made the LONG ride out very worthwhile. And we all even got to see the ocean! How 'bout that? I've got more fun activities to catch you all up on as well. Take care till then!
