Our Weekend

This weekend we went to Mendocino with our friends and the boys went Abalone diving. It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. May ended like a lion ... we have been so stressed lately, so the chance to get away was perfect. My girlfriend found a great state park campground and a perfect camp site. We left at 4pm on Friday, survived the traffic and made it to our site by 8:00pm. The traffic added about 1 hr to our drive time, but we entertained ourselves with car games.

The next morning we woke up and Ahmad had already started breakfast (eggs, coffee, french toast)... the boys prepared for their morning dive. We drove into Mendocino to pick up a few misc. items and the guys were in the water by 9:30am.

The girls walked the boys down to the water and watched them hunt for Abalone for a short while. We then went back to the campsite for a much needed shower.... Once we freshed up we prepared some hot chocolate and drove back to check on the boys. It was perfect timing... just as we parked the boys were coming out of the water... and WERE WE excited to find they did indeed catch some ABALONE!!

We drove back to the campsite warmed up the boys... hiked around the state park trails and then feasted!

It was super fantastic to get off the grid for a while!!
