Thanksgiving Dinner at Moonstone Grill in Trinidad, California

The kids and my mother enjoyed a Thanksgiving turkey meal while Tony, my father enjoy steak and seafood dishes. The molten chocolate cake was to die for good.  Finally a good picture of the four of us; taken in the lobby of the Eureka, CA Holiday Inn.



Oregon coast-headed south to Coos Bay, Oregon

Ona Beach
Oregon's coast is truly breath taking with great campsites, parks, and clean bathrooms (a nice treat for a traveling pregnant lady).

Grace "has there ever been a salami here?" (Correct word, tsunami)

Grace wanted a picture of this sea creature.

 

Best kid pictures:

Devils churn

Gracie called this a pregnant tree and thought I should pose next to it.
