Summer Trip 2020 - Day 4: Bunker Hike, Cape Arago & Sunset Beach

On Tuesday morning Megan and I went for a walk along the beach looking for seashells.  We were able to find a couple of good ones before we had to go back to get ready for a new hike to see a bunker. 

This hike wasn't far from where we were staying, but far enough we needed to drive.  We had never been on this hike, so we weren't sure what to expect.  It wasn't a long hike, but it did go up hill for a lot of the way.  Once we got to the top, we found the bunker.  It had lots of graffiti.  Some of it was pretty cool, other very inappropriate.  They had gloves and spray paint there for people to add their tags.  Boyd sprayed "Come to Papa G's Crab Shack."  Then drew a crab.  It was pretty funny.  His first tag ever.

After the hike we drove up to Cape Arago.  We love it there too.  We walked down to see the seals.  Sometimes we can hear them, but not this day.  We did see a big group of seals, but not very close.  Good thing we had our binoculars.  Everyone wanted turns seeing the seals.  

After the seals we went to the lookout point.  We had seen whales there before and were hopeful that we would see one again.  We got lucky and totally saw a whale.  We would see him spout his spout and then he would dive down and show us his beautiful tail.  It was so fun to watch him.

We then went back and had lunch at our cottage before getting ready to go play at Sunset Beach.  Boyd and Julie got all the beach toys and met us all there.  The weather cleared up and was perfect for us to play in the water.  We all loved the kayaks, paddle boards, sand boards, and sand toys.  I got to admit, kayaking sure is fun.  We all had a glorious time at Sunset Beach.  After the beach we went back to our cottage and made tacos for dinner.  Then we enjoyed the evening hanging out with the family outside the cottages.
