Redwoods Camping Adventure - Day Four


This was the sun finally peeking its way through the trees Thursday morning around 8:15am.  Beautiful!

For breakfast, I (of course) tried another new recipe to me...Omelettes in a Bag!  This was definitely a recipe to do every time camping.

Omelettes in a Bag

2-3 eggs per bag
Whatever toppings you like in your omelet
Diced ham, potatoes, sausage, mushrooms, green/red peppers, tomatoes, shredded cheese, onions, etc.

Make sure the air is out of the bag.  Seal.  Squish the eggs until all mixed through.  Place bags in boiling water for 10-12 minutes.
When done, simply slide out of the bag onto a plate and serve!

 I placed the baggie into a coffee cup while putting in the ingredients to make it a little easier.
I used a freezer Ziploc bag.  
Write names on the bag so you know whose is whose! :)


The great thing is they were done all at the same time - ready to eat as a family. :)

After breakfast, we went back to the Visitor Center to read up a little more on the area and get a postcards and souvenirs.

Then we went to Loleta, CA to the Loleta Cheese Factory.  We were hoping to take a tour but they weren't making cheese that day.  So we bought some cheese and garlic stuffed green olives.  Oh my goodness...SO GOOD!


 Then we went to the back of the store where they had a beautiful garden area.  They had a scavenger hunt for the girls which they loved!  They had so much fun. :)

 I couldn't stop taking photos of all the beautiful flowers!





 Then we had lunch at a Wendy's - I had a delicious apple chicken salad and then headed to Trinidad Beach.


 Northern California beaches are so beautiful!
 Many of the large rocks were just covered in mussels.

 We enjoyed a stroll down the beach exploring the rocks looking for shells and treasures.

 Very interesting!

 That's our hooligans...Addie is 12, Autumn 9, Sierra 7 and Summer 4.


 My little shell collector...toes in the sand...my love and I.



 Gorgeous, gorgeous.  So perfect.


The old couple. :)

Then it was back for a late night at the campsite...cheddar brats for us, hot links for the hubby and cinnamon rolls toasted over the fire.  Yum, yum.

Good times, good memories.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
