And the Sun Sets on Samara

            It was our last full day in Samara today as we will be leaving for San Jose tomorrow afternoon. I will be leaving my parents from there to fly home and then off to Australia! We went to Luke and Anna’s church in the morning again and afterwards spent a relaxing day mostly at the hotel.

             Arden took a nice long nap and while she was out we sat around and talked, played a game of Munchkin, looked through the horrendous number of shells we have collected, began the task of packing our bags, and bemoaned how incredibly sore we were. Oh my goodness. My arms and legs are protesting like none other after that workout they got yesterday paddle boarding!  Mostly it’s my upper legs from all the straining to balance over all those white caps.

            When Arden got up we took our last walk down the road to get our usual double scoop ice cream cones and then decided to take one last stroll down the beach.  

Obviously enjoying their ice cream... 

            Dad and I of course couldn’t resist picking up a few more shells along the way (not sure where we’re going to PUT them now….) and Anna walked down the beach from the house to meet up with us. She had decided to spend the morning at home, baby free, because she has a big test tomorrow morning.

            To finish off our last full day, Dad and I took a drive past Samara and down to the far end of Carrillo beach to see the sun set on our time in Samara. It’s been one fun trip getting to see Luke, Anna and Arden, especially being here to see Arden turn one. I am really going to miss these guys!

It's been fun Samara!

My favorite song from church this morning.
