July 16, 2023 - Bodega Head Natural Trail & Duncans Mills

Jeff and Jennifer had spent a lot of effort in planning and preparing for this family outing. When we got to the AirB&B, we noticed that Jennifer already prepared more than enough food to fill up the whole refrigerator. 


In the morning, we had a wonderful breakfast with variety of fruits, sausages, bacons and eggs.  We were enjoying the breakfast both indoor and outdoor on the back deck.  However, it was a little chilly, and we had to put on jackets when we ate on the back deck.  


After breakfast, we all went hiking at Bodega Head Natural Trail. It is supposedly a loop trail. However, we took our time to enjoy the weather and the scenery along with photo stops. We finally turned around after a couple of hours of hiking.  

Jeff and Jennifer ordered many chowders and variety of seafood dishes from Fisherman's Cove.  Jennifer also ordered additional clam chowders from Spud Point Crab Company to allow us to taste all the great clam chowders in the area. She also asked us to rate these two chowders and last night’s chowder. It turned out that last night’s chowder was the majority favorite.


After lunch, Maisie had to take her afternoon nap, and, surprisingly, she wanted Jeff to put her down for nap. Jeff did a great job and did not lost his touch with babies. At this point, we believed that Jeff had taken over Benjy’s role as Maisie’s favorite person.


While Maisie was taking a nap, we ventured out to Duncans Mills to walk around. They have many unique shops carrying unique items. It was very interesting.  

 Jason, Theresa and Maisie joined us after MeiMei’s nap. 

We were wandering around and relaxing a little more. Then we went to a nearby beach at Duncan’s Landing for the kids to play in the waves and pick up seashells. It was Maisie’s first visit of California beach. When we were ready to leave, we spotted a sea lion just lying on the beach.  

When we got back, Jennifer and the kids prepared happy hour snacks with a lot of cheeses, salamis, crackers, and chips. It was truly a happy hour for all of us.

Jeff used their BBQ grill to cook wonderful steaks for all of us.  Jennifer also made wonderful salads.  Thanks to Chef Jeff and Chef Jennifer for the wonderful dinner.
