New Years Day

We had a wonderful new years day -

It was a cool, clear, sunny day here where the air was crisp and the sun felt like winter sun.
We stopped at Starbucks to get some warm beverages (cappuchino for Tom, Eggnog latte for me (must get them before they run out until next Christmas!), and a kid's vanilla steamer (sugar-free, of course) for Cyanne.

We went for a walk down by the ocean on Cabrillo Boulevard.
Cyanne and Daddy went on the carousel. It was Cyanne's first time riding the horse all by herself (i.e. without one of us standing next to her, semi-holding her)! She rode one and Tom rode another right next to her while I fed Maritt. We watched them go up and down, round and round...

We then walked to the park just down the street from the carousel. Cyanne had a blast running around in the sand, going down the slides, swinging on the swings, climbing up the planks and stairs...

We then cross the road and walked on the boardwalk next to the beach where we saw the most incredible sunset. I, sadly, forgot the camera... It was stunning - lots of clouds, bright orange and red and purple...

Maritt slept while Cyanne took in the view and the sunset. She drank up all of her steamer and asked for more... =)

All in all, a great day to start 2010.
