Day in Oceanside with Grandpa


Dad flew down to visit yesterday and I wanted to take him somewhere fun today.  We went to the beach and to the pier in Oceanside.  This is a historic pier and there is a great beach here too.


I know you would think that the restaurant at the end of the pier would be something to do with fish.  Not so, it is hamburgers and fries.  Very inventive.


Dad of course was very interested in the people who were fishing off the pier.  He went up and talked to many of them asking them what kind of fish they were catching and watched what they were using to bait.  He was very excited when he found out that you don't have to have any kind of license or permit to fish here.  There were lots of Asian people fishing at the end catching Mackarel and Sardines, but Dad was much more interested in these perch.


The highlight for Dad was that they were having a Samoan festival next to the pier, so he got to have some polynesian food and watch some entertainment while he ate.


He is making plans for when he comes to live here and has worried all day about how he will find his way back here and what he needs to have with him.  I love you Dad!!!
