The fam and I just returned from our little summer vacation.
It was quite a fun time.
Day 1-
We made it exactly 1 minute down the road and stopped for lunch.
After lunch we went to the bank, filled up with gas and got a car wash.
Oh! Pretty rainbow colors
Then we were set and headed over to the coast.
Lexx made it exactly 15 minutes before she fell asleep.
On the way, we just happened to get in a fender bender.
Stupid car behind us rammed us because we were merging due to a motorcycle accident.
After we checked in, and all the excitement from an hour before, we decided to
Go EAT!
It ended up taking us about 6 hours to get to Arcata with the little mishap and a couple stops in between.
Day 2-
Todd and I really didn't make any specific plans, but we ended up having a great day.
We ended up going to Patrick's Point.
We mostly hiked and explored.
Alexxa and Austin taking a picture break after hiking.
Yummy - banana slug.
View of Patrick's Point Sumeg Village.
Traditional style family house.
See that hole on the bottom left...that's the entrance.
I could totally fit, I just didn't want to get all dirty.
After we explored the village, we decided to go to the beach.
Problem was, the trail was closed...but that didn't stop us.
We experienced some beautiful scenery.
We also hiked to the top of Ceremonial Rock
Look at all the steps. That's just a few of them.
View from the top.
We actually bumped in to some rock climbers
who climbed up the face of the rocks instead of taking the trail.
I didn't get a picture, but it was pretty awesome watching them.
And because that wasn't enough hiking, we decided to hike to Lookout Point.
Watch your step.
We didn't really pay attention to the time, and when we hiked Lookout it was about 3 PM.
My blood sugar dropped, and I felt like I was going to pass out.
I decided to stay away from the edge so I wouldn't have a mishap.
Me about ready to pass out.
After that hike we decided to eat lunch in the little town of Trinidad.
Lunch was very tasty, and the town was adorable.
Trinidad Lighthouse.
Alexxa, Todd and Austin
Look what the seagull caught.
When we were finished in Trinidad, we headed back to the hotel to rest.
We were also hungry and couldn't resist going to the Samoa Cookhouse for some very yummy food.
The Samoa Cookhouse has been around since 1890, and serves meals lumber camp-style.
What does that mean?
It means you don't have a choice of what to order.
Their menu....take it or leave it.
You can call ahead and find out what they are serving for the week, so you don't have to be surprised.
Here's a picture of the loggers that they used to serve.
I didn't really get a picture of the food (because I was too busy eating), but the cookhouse is set up
with long tables that they just keep piling the food on.
We have been here twice, and liked the food both times.
With the end of our day coming to a close, we decided to wrap it up and go back to the hotel.
Stay tuned for day 3.
