Today we finished the drive up the California Coast on Hwy 101 to Bandon. It was an uneventful drive, which means it was good. :) We went to the Samoa Cookhouse in the morning for breakfast. I think we got there at about 8:45 or 9:00 am. It is a place where they serve the food family style. It's a set menu, so you get what they're serving. It was French Toast, eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy, with OJ. Everyone ate great, except Sarah. :(
After breakfast, we headed up the coast on 101 through Klamath, Crescent City, Brookings, and on into Bandon. Along the way, we stopped at a state park, I think it was, where there is often a herd of elk that go around the forest and onto the beach. I can't remember the name of it (I'll have to ask Darryl). We didn't see any elk this time, but we stopped at a visitor center and nearby meadow. We took a nice walk through some redwoods and got a picture of a bear surprising Emily!
After the meadow, we stopped at a beach along 101 just south of Crescent City to give the girls some lunch. We all played in the sand until about 1:30 or 2:00 and then got back on the road. The girls fell asleep around 2:30 and slept almost the whole rest of the way to Bandon. We arrived in town around 4:30, unloaded, and headed out to dinner. We made a quick run to the grocery store, and then came home.
Darryl and Steven are at the docks right now setting their crab nets (they bought licenses as soon as we got to town). Sarah and I just put the girls to bed and are getting ready to head that direction ourselves. Keep checking this blog as I'm going to try updating it daily.
