Easter Vacation Fun!

We surprised the Fish Heads with an overnight trip to Windsor during Spring Break (thanks to Chad and Becky for their timeshare)! We were only gone for 2 days but it seemed much longer (in a good way). Just the perfect little get away. We had a scavenger hunt for them to discover that we were going on a road trip.



Here's a few of our favorite spots we discovered:

BODAGA BAY:

















Sea anemones...Jake has always been our "discoverer." And since he had just gone on his 5th Grade trip to Pigeon Point he was quite knowledgeable on these creatures.




STINSON BEACH:






MUIR BEACH:
Old military bunkers.






IN SEARCH OF A PINK HOME:
To distract Emily through the curvy/windy roads of Highway 1 - we told her to keep her eye open for a pink house. We had no idea that a PINK and WHITE building even existed on our trip. You can only imagine how thrilled she was to come across this Emily Perfect Building!




MUIR WOODS:
Hiking, really "walking" through the Muir Woods. We realized we hadn't taken Emily there since she was a baby. We really should go here more often - such an easy hike for the family to do together.

Amen Tristan!! I used to go to Bodega Bay with my dad all the time when I was a kid!! I LOVED IT!! We'd camp there before going up to Gualala/Sea Ranch area. :) I remember all the curves of Highway 1 and I'm pretty sure we've stopped at the pink & white salt water taffy place too!!
