"STAY"cation Destination 3

On our way to destination 3 we came across 3 eagles.  You can see the first up at the top of the tree, but if you look carefully on the branch down toward the bottom right you can see another.  It was a younger eagle, but still very large.  When it heard me get out of the car and start walking toward the tree it flew out of the tree and scared me.  I couldn't get my camera ready because I was running.  You know me and my bird fear, there was no way I was standing around with that bird 15 feet from me.  I jumped back into my car to take pictures.

At our Destination

 On the way the kids were really good little hikers.  It was the coming back when they were wet, cold, and hungry that it took a little longer.

Lil' E found this slimy slug.  I was pretty impressed due to the camo nature of the slug.

Looking out to Sea.  Doble was fascinated with the water.

Look brother at what I found. The kids really love any beach.  They love picking up shells and rocks.

Foamy water

Ye haw!

We of coarse came during high tide.  The waves were getting little too big for our liking fast.

I love Lil' E's pose here. 

Hurry run the waves are going to get us.  I was surprised that Razy wanted to play in the waves.  Normally she is as far away from them as possible.

Whatcha got Doble?

Let me see too.

Ohh I can write my name too

Deep consentration

She doesn't even realize what is coming

She does now

Hurry run!

It got my finger

I looked down for a sec to see a picture I had just taken and Doble and Razy were getting attacked.

Let me help you sister

She was not happy AT ALL!

The Hike Back

He held his hands like this during the whole hike because he didn't want to get his pants (already wet and dirty) dirty with sand.

Our red rough salamander friend

His belly was a cool orange.

"STAY"cation Destination 2

This Destination is a favorite of the kids.  We like to visit a half dozen times a year. Many times bringing along Mema and Papa.  It is the perfect little beach for little ones who like to throw rocks in the water and for those that like to collect shells, sea glass, and rocks.  Today as we walked the beach we found several shells and even some sea glass for Mema. 

Many in the area might not know this, but this destination is even considered a hidden gem.  It is rarely crowded or being used.  Making it the perfect day trip with your family to visit.  And even quiet enough for you to go alone and sit on a beached log to meditate. 

As we combed the beached the waves continued to roll in.  So the kids's once dry pants were of course wet.  They just had to try to beat the waves.

The table should be a giveaway as to what restaurant we had dinner tonight.  Boy was it YUMMY!  

Can you guess where we went today?  You can get a point for answering correctly where I took the kids today, and a point for where JBody and I enjoyed our dinner date with friends.
