Redwood Vacation 2017 - Day 5

Today was definitely a treat!  We started the day off by hitting the local lighthouse, which was a real treat.  The lighthouse is called the Battery Point Lighthouse.  I'm not sure why it is called that, but we enjoyed it a bunch! They have two couples stay for a month each to take care of the lighthouse and run daily tours. It was really quite fun!

 

   

 

   

After the fun Lighthouse tour, we spend about 30min exploring the tide pools.  It was a real treat, but I realized how weak my legs are and it really convinced me that it is definitely time for me to get myself back into shape.  I can't allow myself to go another week without exercising at least 3 times, even if I'm traveling.  I also need to go on the "body-for-life" diet and cut out sugar for a while!

   

For lunch, we found the "Fisherman's Restaurant - Love at First Bite".  We scored big time as we had probably the best Cod that I've ever had.  It was a really fun place for lunch and we all really enjoyed the food and experience!

 

   

 

Next, we drove out to the pier area and enjoyed hearing the sea lions bark and swim.  The wind picked up and it was super cold, but we still had fun.

 

   

 

Finally, we drove down to "Walker Road" and took a short hike with just Jason, Amy, Ashtyn, Alyssa and Jantzen (Aubrey and Jarrett were both napping from the morning).  This forest was more "original" than the Stout Grove.  It was the "Simpson-Reed Grove Trail". The trees were amazing and it wasn't crowded at all.  We really enjoyed ourself!
