Sunny Day

Well we had a great day Friday!!! It was a little chilly at times, but the sun came out quite a bit and it got fairly warm, about 10 Celsius I think. We went to Lynn Canyon Park where the suspension bridge is, and crossed it (even me who is afraid of heights, this can be done by looking straight down at the bridge decking, and resolutely walking forward). We had to cross it twice actually as the bridge was the only way into and out of the park hiking areas. We went for a hike to the bottomless pool, a hike that goes through the old forest of redwoods, douglas firs etc, and tons of moss and such, it was very tropical almost. Lots of people on the hike too, and four rambunctious kids who kept getting to close to a very fast moving river. We actually had our camera with us and Mom took a few pictures. We went in the visitors center and they had a pretty good display area about the animals and trees and communities in the park area historically. We ate lunch there sitting at a picnic table soaking up the sun.
We left there and then spent several hours at Barnet Park walking along the coast of the bay, looking for shells and just enjoying the view and watching the kids have fun. The tide was in , so there wasn't a lot of beach area, but enough to walk on the sand some. We also watched a fellow crab fishing, and he caught a few smaller crabs. There was also a huge tanker ship being moved through the bay by tug boats, and that was interesting to watch.
Spent the evening chez the Coopers where we had chicken, fries and pizza for supper. A very nice day!!!
