This past weekend, we camped on the coast at Bodega Dunes State Park, which is just north of San Francisco. The weather was perfect...upper 70's, sunny, and no fog! We spent most of our time playing on the beach. Unfortunately, low tide was late in the evening...too dark to go tide pooling. The kids were so exhausted Saturday night...they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. Greg and I took advantage of the rare moment and enjoyed the campfire...which was almost ruined by an unexpected visitor...a skunk! He decided to munch on Belle's food...just a few feet away from us...tail raised high and ready if needed. Thank God he spared us! After spending Sunday morning on the coast...we headed towards home. On the way, we stopped at Armstrong Redwoods State Park. Although we have seen countless redwoods since our move to California, their size still amazes me! Leaving the redwoods, we took the scenic route through Sonoma and Napa Valley...some how we resisted stopping for a glass of wine. Here are a few pictures from out weekend...
Finn turned the big 5 last weekend!! On Saturday, we celebrated at home with family and presents. On Sunday, we took the party to John's Incredible Pizza Company, which is a mini version of Las Vegas plus carnival rides. The party was a joint celebration with Finn's BFF Trevor, who turned 5 two weeks ago. Both boys enjoyed the party and celebrating the evening with friends. Chet enjoyed eating cake...especially the leftover scraps off everyone's plate!!
