The Dunes

Here we are checking out one of trails through the dunes where our campsite was located.

And this is why we chose this site.  Olivia loves sand.

Doing some rolling down one of the dunes.

And doing some scooting down a dune.

The Beach

Olivia heading out to the beach

It was very cold, windy, and very foggy


The beach had no shortage of driftwood

Lots of driftwood.  People put together driftwood buildings and such.  This was the most impressive one that we saw.

The Lookout

Arriving at Bodega Head.  This is basically a huge peninsula you can walk out on and get a great view of the coast.  There was also a place you could walk down to a small beach.

Here's the view

And here's us heading down the the beach.  Just as the trail ends, all that's left is a ladder type thing to go the rest of the way. 

Sitting on a pretty rock talking about mussels.  I thought, we should totally take a family photo.

And this pretty much sums up what Niki and Olivia thought of my idea to take a family photo

But they humored me anyway

And here we are trying to get back up from the beach.  Turns out that I don't really like beach ladders.  Olivia does though.  Thankfully going up was a million times easier than going down.

The Drive Home

Getting ready to start the drive back home.  Olivia enjoying some one on one time with her favorite little dog.

So the drive back was particularly long because Olivia refused to take a nap and she was cranky.  So, we found ways for her to stay entertained.  She showed us some funny faces.

 Then we just gave her the camera.  Here's Olivia taking a picture of her feet.

And this one is greatest of all.  She even held the camera out and said, "Say cheese" as she took this picture of herself.
