September Family Beach Day

Stinson in September is beautiful.  I haven't been on a boogie board in at least 10 years and I forgot how to go under the wave - took a scary face-plant into the sand.  I will ride the baby waves next time.



September in Shelter Cove

Cade and Morgan invited us up to the Laney Family get-away in Shelter Cove.  A 5 hour drive but well worth the time spent squishing all 5 of us into the Honda Civic. A quaint experience complete with a town potluck, free golfing (you can actually just park on the road and start playing), no parking meters, tide pools, the best organic lunch at the "Tea House" and breathtaking views of the fog rolling in over the ocean.  The "Lost Coast" is a little known gem.
