If you are ever near the northern coast of California, I urge you to go to Point Reyes. Beautiful all year long, the spring is particularly gorgeous. The wild iris bloom around Easter, and the different wildflowers continue to bloom throughout the spring. And the ocean view? Worth the hike to get there.
For a number of reasons, the boys' week-end plans had to change from an official Boy Scout outing to a non-official, family outing instead. This meant one very important thing: the pre-scout in our family could attend. I wish I had had the camera at the dinner table on Wednesday night when the announcement was made. Thrilled? Ecstatic? Hmmm...I wonder what word would best describe the look on his face. Let's just say he began packing immediately following dinner. Come Friday, he strapped on his pack and had his very first backpacking adventure. All reports on the week-end were unanimous: the youngest brother is one rugged hiker and backpacker. He made his dad and brothers very proud.
