Feb 16--The Ocean



Last Saturday Abby and I got up, packed a picnic lunch, and headed over to the coast for the day. We went to Bodega Bay, which is where Hitchcock filmed The Birds. We drove out onto Bodega Head and found a picnic table overlooking the water. We had a great view of the seals playing in the surf while we ate. After lunch we hiked around the head and took a few photos.


Next we drove up the coast to Fort Ross, an old Russian settlement from the 1800's. It had exhibits about the settlers and the local Indians. It was a cool place to walk around. Here's Abby by the well.


On our way back down the coast, we saw a bunch of seals sunning themselves on a beach next to the road, so we stopped to check them out. It was nice and windy there, so we decided to fly our kite, too.




All in all, it was a great way to spend a Saturday in the middle of February.

Oh my, that looks like a perfectly fun day--a picnic, seals, the ocean, and kite flying. *sigh* You guys are lucky.
