Fort Bragg vacation

Fort Bragg DAY 1 (wednesday

We awoke at 5 in the morning. Hubby said he wanted an early start on our travels. I had spent the last week loading bags and getting most of the stuff ready, that way it would just have to be loaded into the van, we then loaded the van tuesday evenning after I got back from dropping Nathanael off at my mom's house. So, when we woke up all we had to do was the icecooler stuff and get dressed, sit and have coffee together and then get the boys dress and be off by 6am.
We had a great travel, it didn't take us long and we made it into Fort Bragg on half a tank of gas. We decided to stop of and eat at a cheaper restaurant and only had "fish and chips" the boys loved the fish.
Then we headed north on up to westport where our camping ground reservations were at. We got there at 1:30 pm. Got our campsite, and set up camp. Then I took the boys to the playground while hubby finished up.
Then headed off to the beach. THe boys LOVE the beach, playing in the sand and jumping the waves. Theodore loved it too.
All of our meat was still frozen..lol, but we ended up having bbq sloppy joes for dinner..lol and texas style beans. The boys went to bed early this night, that was good! haha
Jeremy said he wished we would have brought our dog zebo along. I was glad we didn't!!!

day 2 ( Thursday)
Rise and shine, the boys woke up at 6am. It could have been the bright sun..lol. It was still foggy out, it had been foggy since we arrived. We were hoping it would clear up, but by the end of the day it was still there...
We decided to go back into Fort Bragg today, we walked around the town and went into the stores. Jeremy bought a book at a book store, he really liked it. He read half of it while we were camping.
On the way back from Fort Bragg we also stopped at a beach on hwy 1, they had huge rocks that the boys and Jeremy climbed on. I video taped it and kept an eye on THeodore.
Then we went back and I let Jeremy sleep while I took the boys to the beach for awhile..theodore really needed a nap.
We brought along their little truck and they drove it through the sand, and built a castle for it to drive into.
We let the boys stay up later, but they still crashed pretty early.

day 3 (friday)
We woke up and had to do some laundry. One of our boys had thrown up all over where he was sleeping..yucky! So, we took some clothes and the sleeping bag up to the laundry area. The boys played with the animals in the petting zoo while I did the 2 loads of laundry. We figured we might as well do a load of clothes since we had to do the sleeping bag.
After that we went to the day area part of the beach. We brought soda and water and snacks and spent the rest of the day out on the beach. Enjoying the sun which finally decided to come out, and the water. I even took the boys on a hunt for caves. We found 2 very small ones, but I didn't want to venture off to far. I would have but it was high tide, so I figured I'd better not..haha. Jeremy stayed behind and kept an eye on Theodore.
They enjoyed it a lot. We got back and had a late dinner, and then the boys again fell right to sleep!!

day 4 (saturday)
This was our last full day, so we figured we'd tried to make it easy day. Jeremy however did want to drive into Fort bragg and see the seals and other things. SO we did that first..and came back.
Then we packed up the cooler and really spent the rest of the day on the beach. We took the boys some toys with them as well. I made a house for the boys to put their toys in..lol a rock house. They ended up burying their toys and when it was time to leave the beach that day...well... we couldn't find them all. SO, I looked on the camcorder where I had recorded them playing and found the area where they had hid them..lol...
We also buried Jeremiah in the sand, where only his head was out. He enjoyed it.
Dominic became a pro at running away from the waves too. Jeremiah got knocked down on 1 and scared him so it took awhile for him to become adjusted to the waves again..but he overcame. Theodore liked the sand..he didn't want to go near the water!! only in daddies hands...lol
We went back to the camp and ate dinner and then came back to watch the sunset. We came back, got the boys washed up in the showers, made a huge fire and had a blow out night! It was great. The boys stayed up for a little while, had some "smores" and went to bed.
I think it was around 11 when they finally went to bed, and we went around midnight or so. Everybody else was up that last also.

Day 5 (sunday)
Today is the day that we head back. Jeremiah still woke up at the crack of dawn, but the other two slept it pretty late..well til 9am. I got up with him and entertained him until the rest got up. We had cinamon rolls for breakfast, then we started packing up.
It didn't take us very long to pack up, and we took back about half the stuff we brought. We decided on the way home to go a different route. So we headed north and stopped at the drive thru the tree. The boys left going through the tree.
Jeremy drove through it first by himself, then took the boys through and finally we all went through on the way out. When the boys went through they all piled up in the front seat. That way they could have an up front view. They enjoyed it.
I bought a few things in the gift shop..haha like 2 big pencils for the boys.
We stopped at willits on the way out to get something to eat. We decided on Pizza, it turned out to be YUCKY pizza and tasted worse that chucky cheese pizza. yuck... the people there weren't to friendly either..we should have waited..lol but the boys were hungry.
Theodore ended up throwing up a few times on the way home. We had given Dominic medicine so he wouldn't, now we will have to make sure to give them both some. Dominic had thrown up on the way home from my mom's house the other day too, but he's famous for getting carsick.
We stopped by at a gas station to clean up the mess, and let the boys take a rest from driving. We also ended up stopping at a farmer's market fruit stand thing. The things were expensive though...so we didn't get anything.
Finally arriving home at around 6pm. My mom called right after we got in the door and asked us if we'd like her to bring the baby home. We Nathanael was home about an hour later. one less trip that i'd have to take...
