The Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival 

Pancake breakfast.

Half Moon Bay bakery owned by a school
friend, Mark.  We had pumpkin filled donuts. Delish.

Half Moon Bay, CA is where Tom grew up...that's with the assumption that he DID really ever grow up.  The town is the self-proclaimed pumpkin capital of the world and they have an Art and Pumpkin fest ever year.  Tom and I have been trying to attend for a few years now and finally....we did.  The night before we found a great parking spot in a neighborhood just two blocks from the
Main street.
