Visiting My Daughter-Day 4…Trinidad State Beach

Our daughter loves the beach (and why wouldn’t she…being the wonderful Coast Guard wife that she is), and therefore, our vacation had to include a visit to nearby Trinidad State Beach.

Trinidad State Beach

Trinidad is another great area to visit over and over again. There are a couple of beaches to play on, tide pools to explore, a pier, a good restaurant to eat at (which we did), and trails to hike.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I did not know that my camera settings were askew (that mischievous little demon), so I am again apologizing for the not-so-sharp photos. I hope they are enough to inspire you anyway!

My family chose to hike the trail along the bluffs as well as play on the beach. The foliage is lush along the bluffs!

Visiting My Daughter-Day 3…Ferndale Cemetery

You might not think that a cemetery would be a destination for visiting, however the picturesque Ferndale Cemetery is the most photographed historic cemetery in California.

Ferndale Cemetery

The cemetery was established in 1868.

It is also the perfect backdrop for my daughter and I to practice a ‘ghosting’ photography technique (We need a lot more practice!).

I am going to apologize now for the not-so-sharp looking photos that I am going to share. I did not discover until long after my vacation was over that a malicious gleeful demon had changed some of my camera settings (I am positive that it couldn’t have been me!).

Enjoy the photo tour!

Anyone know what may have caused the circles on this rock?

Do you see the face in this rock? And how about this banana slug! He is a big one!

The park features a small recreated traditional Native American village maintained by the Yurok people. The village is called Sumeg Village and is in use today. One can see a redwood canoe, a sweat house, a dance house, and family houses.

If you enjoyed this little photo tour, then you might like to hop on over to my daughter’s website, where she shares more about Patrick’s Point, including watching her Coastie husband and crewmates hoisting. She is a much better photographer than I am!
