We had a lot of fun going to Bodega Bay with my mom and Michael. For my mom's birthday they had planned on going to the coast and playing at the beach the weekend before her birthday. Well jeep troubles had delayed those plans, so they postponed the trip to the following weekend, and decided to invite us to come along!
We drove out friday afternoon, checked into our hotel, "The Inn at The Tides" and had dinner at "The Tides." The restaurant was part of the filming of the 1960's Hitchcock movie, "The Birds." I remember watching the movie a few years back and being quite annoyed of the fog horn that was constantly going off during the movie. Well, that wasn't just for the movie, in Bodega Bay there is a beep of the fog horn about every 10 seconds. I was able to accumulate to it and tune it out, but Matt and my mom were having a hard time with it. Matt even resorted to wearing earplugs to bed that night in an attempt to muffle the noise, according to him, it didn't work.
The next morning we headed off to Dorans beach. Normally when you think of a Northern California beach, you think cold and windy. But not today! The weather was sunny and a beautiful 90 degrees. Perfect for getting in the water and searching for seashells, and for the boys to roll around in the sand and build sandcastles.
It was a great trip and I'm glad that my mom and Michael were kind enough to invite us along to enjoy the weekend with them. The boys ask about the beach practically everyday and I'm sure we will be back to play in the waves again soon.
