Today my grandparents were off to church in the morning, and then on to meet up with Vicki for a brunch. My folks and I saw it as a great opportunity to spend some time together out on the coast.
We drove up to the Armstrong Redwoods to look around there. It was the first time that I had been there, and it was pretty nice. I had forgotten how massive the largest redwoods actually are.
We walked around for a little while in the redwoods, and then got back in the car and headed into Guerneville. There was some kind of triathalon going on there – lots of cars were driving up and down the street. We kept on going through town and out to Bodega Bay, looking for a good place to eat. My parent’s recommended a snack bar right on Bodega Bay, so we had fish and chips there.
After lunch we drove back to Goat Rock State Beach and spent about an hour watching the sea lions, walking the beach, and looking for treasures among the rocks and shells on the seashore. It was good therapy!
For dinner tonight it was Italian food – pizza (from Mary’s!) and homemade spaghetti. We also had some garlic bread and some salad with homemade blue cheese dressing – delicious!
Now I’m wrapping things up here by finishing with packing and collecting my belongings that have seemed to spread all over the house. Tomorrow morning we’ll drive to San Francisco and then I’ll fly on to Seoul for the night. I’ll write more once I settle in at home!
