Had a fun fiasco on our anniversary trip to Estero Americano. The Dufours had our boys for the weekend, and we were off for some canoein'
Check out the Running Fence.... we were right in that area...

| Took off Friday mid-afternoon to head up North to our AirBnB. On the way we decided to stop at a brewery... |
 |
| went to Porter Bass for a fun wine tasting. |
 |
| And off to Armstrong Redwoods Park |
 |
| Had some nice meals out... mmmm |
 |
| Our AirBnB for the night. This place was very tastefully done. With an outdoor shower! |
 |
| this is brekky the next day. |
 |
| went on a quick run after brekky... |
 |
| and soon we were at the put in.. |
 |
| lots of foot prints... raccoon? |
 |
| good bird watchin... |
 |
| lunch at the whale tail.. |
 |
| it got quite shallow at times... |
 |
| and soon we were at the mouth of the estero |
 |
| pretty cool having a slice of the California coast to yourself |
 |
| we thought this looked like a shark. |
 |
| We caught a nice sunset... |
 |
| xtra bonus watching crashing waves on this rock... |
 |
| Somebody forgot a lighter... but don't worry this story gets more exciting.. |
 |
| Yup... woke up, packed up... went to the boat... and it wasn't there. The tide must've taken her out. We figured there's a beach like 2 miles away that we've been to... so we opted to scramble over there... first we forded the estero. |
 |
| looks a bit tricky... |
 |
| at one point we had the blanket tied to a towel tied to another towel tied to Kimbo... |
 |
| but she managed to fall anyway. This doesn't look that bad, but I seriously thought she broke something from her fall. Scary, scary, moment... |
 |
| We finally made it back to civilization.. |
 |
| but turns out there's no Lyft or Uber out here... |
 |
| So we found Sonoma Concierge service to give us a shuttle... the best 40$ we've spent. |
 |
| And made it back in time for Danielle's baby shower. |
 |
| We went straight there... |
