We stayed three nights and two days in Lassen. After driving through the smoke filled air of Northern California due to forest fires we were ready for clean, blue skies, and sunshine on the California Coast! However it was clean air but cloudy and overcast! Oh well, it was beautiful! We stayed the night just south of the Redwoods at a state park called Patrick's Point. We really had a great time discovering and exploring this area.We saw some great tide pools, although the rocks were pretty slippery and slimy so our footing wasn't too great. Ty and Mara get such a kick out of finding starfish and sea anemones (or as Ty says "enemy's"). We were able to see and hear sea lions and harbor seals from one area.
Mara climbed every single one of these stairs all the way to the top! This is one of her favorite things: climbing stairs! We call it 'up the hill and down the hill'!!
Just five miles south of Patrick's Point is a little place called Trinidad. We went for the most amazing hike which overlooked the coast and harbor of Trinidad, but the sights were the only thing that appealed to the senses, it was the sounds of the foghorns, and the bells from the buoys, it is indescribable, the sights and sounds of that little hike one we will never forget. I was able to take many pictures from my camera phone so once I can figure out a way to post them on the blog you can see some of the photos. Until then here is a link which has a couple neat views:

We visited the Humbolt Marine Center in Trinidad and were able to view tanks of fish. They were pretty neat to see but our favorite was the touch tank they had. Not only could we feel and see starfish and sea anemones, but also Sea Cucumbers, sea erchants, and other amazing creatures.
