Ross discovered a fort... no girls allowed!
Pa W enjoying the view...
Our campsite was right next to the Children's Bell Tower... the tower was designed by a local Norcal artist in memory of a little boy from from Bodega Bay who was tragically killed on a family vacation in Italy. The bells were donated by the people, schools and churches in the town in Italy where he was killed as a tribute & as appreciation to his parents who selflessly donated his organs to 7 Italians. It represents the continuity of life... which especially "rings" true for our family.
On Sunday afternoon we decided to go for a drive and see where the road would take us... Ross looked ready to hit the road!
We ended up at Fort Ross State Park... a Russian & Native Alaskan settlement just north of Bodega... Ross thought he was pretty special to have a whole fort named after him!
View from one of the buildings...
View on the way home... notice all the Harbor Seals lounging on the beach near the water's edge...
Speaking of Harbor Seals... in the evening we decided to have some fun with technology! Our doctor loaned us his "extra" $800 ultrasound heartbeat monitor... WHY? you ask? Good question! He thought it might be fun for me to take it to work & have my class hear the baby's heartbeat... I have not mustered enough courage to subject them to that, but we've been having fun at home. Grammy & Grandpa got to hear their granddaughter's heartbeat for the first time... er, I mean Grammy & "Mr. Wilford" as per my dad's request... he'd like to maintain some sort of formality, after all! ;)
On Monday, Ross & I spent some time at Salmon Creek beach
soggy monkey toes...
Awww... well, it IS Valentine's Day on Thursday!
Our traditional self-portrait pose... we have a million of these!
Hope ya'll had a great weekend too!

It was a great weekend! We are heading home this morning. Very foggy right now. Kaya was happy to be able to sleep under the table last night, but she really does miss you (especially Ross).
Wow-looks like a fabulous weekend. Our excitement is we went to Fairytale Town. It is much smaller than I remember...and even worse the "Crooked Mile" is not even a mile long!! Can you believe it? I think Fort Ross would have been more gratifying!!!
What kind of nerd goes to Fairytale town & measures the Crooked Mile?!
