Manzanita Beach Adventure

Hello Blog Pals - I don't know about where you live but the weather has been beary sunny this Thanksgiving weekend.  There was no black Friday shopping for this Fox this year (although I saw a cool tin with a fox on it at the Dollar Tree today, sigh it was dented and my roommate wouldn't buy it for me).  Anyway, I digress, the weather has been great.

Our first stop was lunch at this overlook.  You can see that this gull is interested in lunch as well.  Not today my friend - not today.


 I decided to lead my roommates to the beach town on Manzanita (in Spanish it means little apple) but the town was named for the Manzanita plants that grow in the area (thank you Wikipedia).

Looks like there are some mountains to research in the background.  Maybe there are hiking trails up there?

What a perfect day at the coast.  
No, I am not at some secret ruin in Mesa Verde National Park.  I am just hanging out in a hole that a certain dog dug. 
Sequoia looks a little confused as to why I am in his hole.  I am curious why he dug this hole.  So many mysteries.
After playing with Sequoia I thought it best I relax before the long walk home.
Of course no adventure to the beach would be complete without a stop for some ice cream.  Hmm, I think I know of a place that happens to sell some. Now the only question is what kind should I get.

    1. Good guess on the ice cream, it was a Marionberry Ice Cream and Salted Caramel.

    1. True, air fare is spendy. Especially since I like to travel first class.

  6. Sunshine?? Where did you get sunshine from??? We have had unrelenting rain and more rain. sigh... Oh wait... Mama says the rain must be rusting my synapses. Silly... everyone knows there's not an iota of iron in a stuffy! Anyhow... we did have a clear, cold streak a couple of weeks ago... but it seems soooo long ago I clean forgot about it. Ah well... Daisy Dog likes to dig like that too... particularly if you toss a fist-sized rock for her. She can't carry it in her mouth so she digs a hole around it eventually barking madly when she's lost it. Dogs are... amusing!
