Last weekend my wife and I drove down the coast 45 miles to check-out the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival.
There is evidently such excitement about the annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival that over 200 million people descend on this little town from all over the region. It literally took us three hours to make the 45-mile trip.
At first I was very confused…what could possibly be so exciting about a pumpkin festival??? Then I saw this…

Sorry if I sound bitter, I just miss buying a small lopsided pumpkin, a single roll of toilet paper and two Red Stripes at my local Korean bodega for $23.85.
