Weekend in Mendocino

My dad moved to Mendocino and lives minutes from the coast. You can hear the waves crashing from his house. A little while ago, we stayed there over the weekend. We had a great time and the place is gorgeous. Here are some pictures of our time. The day was beautiful; the sky and water were SO blue! I love it!
There were old chains all along the coast where freight ships would dock in the bay to unload. Of course I had to make my trainer proud and get a workout while I was visiting my dad.

My dad found this rock and we had to take a picture! Love you, dad!
We were so lucky to see this cutie surface for about 1 minute. Then he got shy and dove under; we never saw him again.

What Do You Get?

What do you get when you mix brownie bites,

inside an unlocked truck,

and a bear?!?

A really great and true story! Rocky and Alisa are borrowing our truck while they are camping at Lake Tahoe. Tuesday morning Alisa called and asked if our insurance covered bears. Cameron told me the story. Apparently they, Rocky and Alisa, saw a light go on in the middle of the night. When they looked out of their tent to investigate they saw a bear inside our truck eating brownie bites! They had not locked one of the doors, thankfully or we would have had damage done for sure. And, they forgot that the brownies were still in the truck. So, what was my reaction? I asked, "Did they take a picture?" I thought it was hilarious! No, they did not take a picture. If it was me, I would have had the camera out. I can just imagine how silly it must have looked to see a bear inside the truck eating brownies! Haha! No damage done to the truck but a few bear hairs left behind. How would you have reacted?
