joy eats

last week, a group of us went to the half moon bay pumpkin festival. we woke up before the sun came up so that we could avoid the traffic.


even then... by the time we got there, there was already a long line for the pancake breakfast.

we were so hungry, we decided to explore for other options and we found the moonside bakery. the place was so busy that they mixed up our orders and we ended up with doubled the portions.
then we walked up and down the street, browsing the various booths. we took a group picture by the winning pumpkins for the weigh-off, but with so many of us, you could barely see the pumpkins behind us.

the most exciting "event" at the festival was meeting mrs. meyers at her booth! she was really nice and told us about how her daughter and her started the whole business selling environmentally friendly household cleaners.
after all that walking and talking it was time to eat again!

pumpkin pies and garlic fries. pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin ale.



































we were pretty pumpkin'd out by the end of the day. so we went to eat lunch at the flying fish.




too bad that i was sort of full, so i couldn't eat more.... so sad....
the fish tacos are definitely worth coming back for.
that was the end of a satisfying eating trip!
