It's not uncommon. ESPECIALLY if the above case is true. After spending that much time in the plane, going over the paperwork, programming the box, and possibly trying to get some other collateral duties done after mulitple quick turns during a long duty day, it's nice as the CA to get out of the plane and walk while the FO sits indside for once. More so when the weather is nice, like in SAN
.
Besides, some CA's just prefer to do the walk around.
