Galoons and other fun places to visit.






What the heck is a galoon? Well in 6 year old language with no front teeth it is a lagoon. We finally had a nice weather weekend. Not too much wind, enough sun and some fog. Easter weekend was great even if it ended with rain Sunday evening. Frank's parents came for the weekend and we had a great time.

Saturday we went to Trinidad head for its 1 mile loop walk and to Big Lagoon. Trinidad head is about 30 minutes away with a trail that walks up along the hill above the ocean. The views of the bay and ocean were beautiful. Big Lagoon is 10 minutes north of Trinidad on the freeway. It is the first of 3 nearby lagoons. Big Lagoon is a freshwater lagoon seperated from the ocean by a sandbar creating what looks like a pond. The ocean side had lots of high, breaking waves and surf. The lagoon was calm and we watched a otter play in the water and people were out in canoes and kayaks. It was interesting to stand and turn to watch both areas. Ben did not come out with us since he came home too late in the morning from a friend's house and needed a nap. In the evening we played Foodie Fight a food trivia game, that actually is difficult.

Sunday, the Easter Bunny brought Ronny and Ben a basket of candy and Ronny some new lego toys. After a breakfast of fresh banana chocolate chip bread (yes, Amy cooks for visitors) we walked the dogs to through Sequoia park, a nearby park and then had our easter egg hunt. Lunch/dinner was a t 1pm of ham, scalloped potatoes and asparagus. Frank's parents left by 2pm. Frank, Amy and Ronny spent the rest of the day watching Battle Star Galatica, the new series on DVD and Ben cleaned his room.
