While Ben and Eli ran a last minute Christmas errand, Alison, Colin and I picked up some fun Starbucks drinks and went to the Harbor. My friend Gwen (from Yuma) grew up here and recently told me of the hidden gem of the harbor. She said there's a spot that only locals know where there are always sea lions. Parking is free, sea lions are super close and there are no tourists...perfect. It's been on our list to go find the spot and let me tell you, it was worth it! So fun!
It was quite the show! Two of the sea lions spent the entire time fighting over a spot on the dock, while several others just napped through the whole thing.
Apparently kayaking with a Santa hat is a thing here on Christmas Eve...maybe next year we'll join them.
The rest of the day was spent working on a puzzle and fresh tamales were had for dinner. We finished the evening with Advent and sacks. We've read this book every year for 17 years and even though the kids are getting slightly old for it, it's still a favorite tradition.
