Driving. Windy Driving.

This morning we took our time getting up and going.  We took showers, had some breakfast and then started for Glass Beach in Fort Bragg.  We explored there for a bit and Staci and I were stalked by some squirrels.  Kaya and Briana climbed down to the actual beach and around for a bit.  "We got crabs!" exclaimed Kaya.  Turns out, there was a family of crabs in one of the small pools.  The crabs were fighting and they snapped some pictures.  After Glass Beach, we walked around Fort Bragg and did some shopping.

Once we were done in Fort Bragg, we decided to go to Bodega Bay and look for some tide pools (or, as Staci keeps saying, "tad poles.")  It took about 3 hours or so to get there, after a few mishaps.  When we arrived, we had our picnic lunch and went to the visitors center to find out where the tide pools are.  We found a Marine Lab and went on a free tour.  They have a man made tide pool and a docent that talks about the lab and what they study there.

After the tour, we made our way to our hotel in Mill Valley and took a quick rest.  We went out for pizza and came back and played a game of Life while watching the US Olympic Trials for gymnastics.  After some showers, we'll be off to bed.
