After being in the beautiful Redwoods all day, we were starved. We said good bye to Paul Bunyan and headed North again to Crescent City, CA. Now we had heard that this city really was a "hole" and that there was nothing in Crescent City, but we actually really liked it.
We decided to try out Trip Advisor, as Grandma had heard great things about it. I pulled up recommended restaurants in Crescent City, and this little place little place came up #4, with great reviews. We passed by its location twice trying to find it.
Now this little Mexican Restaurant was not very big at all. It's by no means fancy, and that's okay. They had great customer service and all 10 of us had our food in 15 min tops!! Not only that, the entrees were HUGE!!! Price was amazing for how much food was on each of our plates. Granted we were really hungry, and maybe that is why it was so yummy, but I would eat here in again in a heartbeat.
I ordered a cream soda. It came in a bottle with a bottle cap. When they brought it to me, one of my kids (Can't remember which one) asked, "Who ordered Beer?" We all got a good laugh.
After dinner we headed to the hotel to do what . . . Swim of course!! My kids love to go swimming, and so do my kids. We stayed at the Ocean Front Lodge. It sat right on the beach, and our room window opened to the ocean. It was so nice. There is something about the ocean and the waves that is calming. Loved it. This place was by far the fanciest place we stayed. Grandpa, Grandma, Scott and Debbie all came down to the pool. (They didn't swim), but it was nice to have some fun with the kids. Jayden even had some fun. That boy loves water, unless it's a shower.
After swimming as the kids were tuckering out, Zach went for a little walk down to the beach. I sent him to pick up some H2O from the van too. Well he enjoyed the beach, ocean and moon so much he forgot the water. DARN, guess I get to go outside too. YAY!! Lyndee and I walked around the hotel and picked up the water. By this time it was super late, dark, and I didn't want to be too far from comfortable by ourselves. Back to the room we went.
The next morning Zach was up early and went and enjoyed breakfast with his dad in peace and quiet. JEALOUS!!! He was good to help feed the kids, so I could get me some breakfast. It really was a good breakfast.
When we were all ready, we checked out and went to see the lighthouse right by our hotel, ok just down the street. You can only get to this lighthouse when the tide is down, because when it's high tide, the lighthouse is sitting on its own little island. We couldn't get to it without going through about 1 1/2 feet of water. Since we had the kids with us we just rummaged through the rocky beach for finds, enjoyed the wind, and played a little on the Jetty.
Since the sign says the jetty is unsafe, what do we do?
We play on the Jetty. Really we weren't to worried. The tide was still low, plus I didn't let them wander out past the second Danger sign.
Miss Madi trying to avoid the wind up top Grandpa's Shoulders. It was pretty chilly with the cool air, and the wind. Still enjoyable.
When we were loading up in our cars to head to "The Beach House" we noticed that the 2 suburbans parked next to us were both from Utah. They braved the water and went to the lighthouse. Janet called their suburbans Big Morman Movers.
Off we headed to Lincoln City Oregon.
