Mama and Me Nature Friday

Rosy here today, continuing my pre-birthday celebration! Today I thought you might like to tag along during my Mama and Me Birthday Adventure!

It all started early in the morning, when Mama put on my Birthday Girl bandana and Birthday Girl hat(thanks Sand Dollar Dog Company) and loaded me and Betty the Birthday Unicorn in the car! I closed my eyes for just a second(or maybe napped for about 87 minutes) and when I opened them....

There out the window, was Arty's Ocean!

 Mama drove me to the northern most tip of that Pacific Coast Highway! Arty traveled down the part from San Francisco to San Diego last month.

The US Highway 1 actually starts about an hour south of where we live, and Mama decided this would be a nice place for my Birthday Adventure!

The ocean sure is beautimous, and the hills do have pretty pink flowers that match my hat. But what else could be down here to attract Mama's attention?

Oooooohhhhh, now I see. A pretty park to walk along the ocean for me and a lighthouse for Mama!

It's really more of a Light Station, the Point Cabrillo Light Station to be specific, located just south of Fort Bragg, California.

Originally built in 1908, the Point Cabrillo Fresnel Lens helped guide mariners up the redwood coast until 1972 when it was retired and replaced with a aero-marine rotating light.

Then, in 1998, restoration of the original lens began and the lens was put back into use in August 2001! You can read all about HERE.

Now...on to the WALK!

It was a beautimous day for a walk along the ocean. It was windy, but not too chilly

Mama too a short video of our walk:

You can also view the video HERE on YouTube

Plus they had a pretty lagoon to walk around and you'll NEVER guess what I saw along the way...

 My first California SQUIRREL!!

Of course, Mama took a short video of this too. I think it was the bestest part of my Birthday Adventure! 

You can watch it HERE at YouTube too!

What a fun and exciting Birthday Adventure!!
 I think being two years old is going to be even more fun being one!

 Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE
