A Trip and a Death


The rest of our weekend in California was pretty much the best ever. On Friday morning we got up and headed to the Jelly-Belly factory on the way to the beach. Trevor liked seeing all the machinery, and of course, the free samples they gave out at the end :)



After the free Jelly-Bellys, we got back in the car and headed out to the coast. We had what was probably the best weather I've ever seen at Bodega Bay! Cloudless skies, hardly any wind at first, and it was probably in the 70's. Beautiful! The tide was going out, which was a little sad, but the waves were still pretty good for boogie-boarding. Right after we got there, I downed half a turkey sandwich and then decided I was too excited to wait anymore. Trevor, Dad and put on our wet suits and headed out into that gorgeous water (I've seen bliss, and it comes in the form of a wave).


After we were done with that, we took a walk down the beach to go look at the tide pools and poke at the sea anemones' (at least, that's what I wanted to do). A while later, we decided to head home, but not before I got to take a picture in front of the pink salt water taffy house. However, the taffy there isn't actually that good, so we filled our bags at the kite place instead :) Tasty tasty.

We came home late Sunday night, and almost immediately went to bed, only to wake up Monday morning to find a killer and a victim. Santa (our Beta fish) was pretty well dried out on the kitchen table, and Piper (our cat) had her best "innocent until proven guilty" face on. She got sprayed with the water bottle and ignored the rest of the day, while Santa went to the great porcelin bowl in the sky.

R.I.P Santa. You were a good red fish.

Did you hear the your silly cat did that while you were gone and my parents were there? They plopped the fish back in the bowl and a few minutes later it came back to life . . . weird. Guess fish only have two lives . . . .
