Molly and Brandon Visit!! Blog Stars!

We enjoyed another exciting weekend with visitors from the north. Brandon and Molly drove down from Seattle last Thursday. They arrived in time for dinner, followed by a walk to the "Handee", our nearest convenience store, to get some refreshments.


Friday we decided to head south to the Redwoods state Park and check out Rockefeller Grove- we had yet to explore this area. There we encountered giant trees and one lonesome slug. We decided to take the scenic way home without realizing what that really meant- a long drive....

We stopped on the beach where Molly became friends with a little crab and then the tide rushed in and soaked her! It was a lovely rocky spot... and luckily she had brought a change of clothes.





Saturday we went to the farmers' market and then the beach. Brandon and Molly brought us a Bocce set for a housewarming present, so we played a couple of games- they slaughtered us! It was really fun and with the beach so close I already see many games to come!


That night we caught a Crabs game in Arcata. The visiting team got skunked and the game ended after only 5 innings- not to worry, we had plenty of time to get some dogs and beers. We hung around Arcata for a little while, but decided it best to go home and continue our revelry there. Here we are at the Alibi:


Sunday morning, Brandon and Molly treated us to a wonderful french toast breakfast. It was delicious!! Unfortunately, Sunday's arrival signalled their departure. It was great to see them and hang out- much fun was had!

I hate to say it, but it must be said...there is never a good reason to wear socks with sandals, Brandon. Nice french toast. And classic picture of Molly wielding a stick like a sword. CD and Catherine, you guys should start a tour company - you entertain your guests so well!
