Just chillin in West Hampton Today is just a chillin' day. The kids knocked themselves out yesterday after the air show, jumping on the trampoline and running around outside, so we are going to chilax today. After an invigorating walk around Remsenburg, we stopped at our boat dock (though we do not have a boat!) for a bit to soak up some rays and watch the boats gliding along the water in the inlet. I thought it would be nice to head into the town of West Hampton to walk around - first time this season - grab some lunch and more than likely give in to the girls' rantings for ice cream. I love a full calendar, but I love a day with no plans at all even better!! Tanya is certainly making up for my inactivity with her full schedule of activities today!! Here's to a happy Memorial Day to all! God Bless America and all that served and continue to serve our great nation!! -E | Third time is a charm! What an amazing fun filled and wonderful day yesterday was! This is turning out to be one of the best Memorial Day weekends EVER! Yesterday we did it all - it started with a lovely cinnamon swirl French Toast breakfast, then over to Catch a Canoe and Bicycles too (which should be Catch a Canoe and Sold Out too) - our second go at canoeing was yet another bust! At which I quickly decided that we'll try again tomorrow morning (today), and do a swap-a-roo with going into town instead. Lots of busyness and activity in Mendocino this weekend. Tourists coming out of the woodwork! We stayed, strolled, took lots of nice pictures and then off we headed to the Point Cabrillo Light house, the Mendocino Botanical Gardens (my first time visiting and I really have to say that it is now one of my favorite gardens to date - I could've spent the entire day there). But lest I forget that I have an appointment with a horse for my first experience horse back riding on the beach! BEAUTIFUL! Yet not entirely what I had in mind - I fantasized about galloping through the surf and well...that didn't happen :-/ Next came us frolicking around glass beach and getting my foot (sneaker, sock and all) soaked as the tide was coming in...UGH - I hate that! Then finally back to the inn for a photo shoot at magic hour and our 8:15p dinner reservations. Whew! And now for Memorial Day... After another French Toast breakfast, (it's just sooo good), we ARE going for that canoe ride! Ya know...Third time's a charm! We'll then check out some of gorgeous bluffs around Mendocino Headlands State Park before starting our drive and heading back down to San Francisco to wrap up this wonderful weekend with ribbon and bows! Think I might need to nap on the flight back! Lol See you guys back here on Tuesday morning! -T |
