This is my most favourite part of our drive to Half Moon Bay!! Every year Half moon bay has an Art and Pumpkin Festival and we were lucky we witnessed part of their preparation
This is my first time to see something like this – a pumpkin patch!
They sold other produce
Honey!!!
Pumpkins of course 🙂
STRAWBERRIES!!

Our friend, June, told us to drive to Half Moon Bay and in an instant we took her advice 
I love road trips!! I used to dread riding the car to get to a place, but there is actually so much to see on the road! I can’t even put down my camera. I never sleep or work anymore in the car. The problem now is that the trip gets longer because I always want to stop and take photos of the beautiful things we see on the way
On the way to Half Moon Bay, there is a short stretch of these trees. It’s an amazing sight – make sure to look to the left going there or on the right going back home
The drive is only around 30 to 40 minutes. It might take longer during weekends. So just like anything else, it’s always best to go non peak days.
We saw this tree farm! 
All fresh Christmas trees! Choose and cut your own 🙂
My first time to see a pumpkin patch!!!! LOVE!!!
Halloween is very big in the States!
Corn!
We saw Lemos farm which was all dressed up for Halloween

It’s nearer for me to go to Wingstop in the Bay Area than to go to Wingstop in Katipunan! haha!! I am so happy to finally try Wingstop and I would like to compare the one in America to the one here 🙂 
I was told that Lemon Pepper is the bestseller
I got the 10 piece ( 2 flavours ) and shared it with James. We had Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parmesan and seasoned fries 🙂 Between the two flavours we had them split it into classic wings and boneless
Classic Wings
Garlic Parmesan- Yummy and hoping they offered extra cheese and extra butter
Lemon Pepper- Yummy
Boneless – In America boneless wings is not really wings without the bones. They use the breast part. So they are just like Chicken nuggets 🙂 Here are the boneless pieces we had in Lemon Pepper and Garlic Parmesan

The parents in the Bay Area are so busy always driving their kids to school, picking them up, watching their games. So one day I decided to join them and watch one of the volleyball games of the kids! Volleyball is really a popular sport among the young girls now ( Previous entry Bea De Leon August 22, 2014 ) and both daughters of my friends are in varsity!
Mommy June and Thia
Thia Grade 8 from Abbott

Which explains why Sara, Grade 7 from Bodwitch, is so good together with the rest of the team!

The best part of any team sport is the camaraderie and it’s so nice to see how they support each other during the games[email_link]

They are a very creative family. I wrote about their business before
