Fort Bragg & Beyond

So just a few weeks back we took a trek to the north. We had the opportunity to first stop in Santa Rosa and stay with some friends of mine from my college/ Girl Scout days- Then we continued north to Fort Bragg to go camping with the Roots.

We stayed at MacKerricher State Park with some of our favorite people. The kids were at a great age to take camping. No longer are they crawling and eating dirt, they were just rolling around in it! They had a great time hanging out, playing games, riding their bikes and playing with new friends...





One day we took a trip down to Glass Beach. It was not as spectacular as I remembered from college - but still amazing what an old dump can turn into.

It's not just a clever name.

The sun even came out for a bit and we had the opportunity to spend the morning at the beach. We flew kites, made sand castles, threw Frisbees- It was great!


One night some of the male members of the group went out on a fishing trip to bring back dinner- here is the fan club anxiously awaiting to see what they were able to bring back.
All n' all it was a great trip! We stopped on the way home and visited another great friend and his family at Oz Farm in Point Arena. I wish we had more time to stay and explore - but it was great watching the kids run through the farm and eat fresh veggies right off the vine.

Thank you to the Roots for including us in your annual tradition - and who knows maybe we'll join you again in the future!
