Something that I always think is a fun challenge is finding cheap (or free!) things to do - wherever I am. I will try to keep you all posted of these things as I find them so if you're ever out and about this area you will know about them too. Today was one of those days of finding a gem. In East Palo Alto right on the San Francisco Bay is the Baylands Nature Preserve. I went there today after reading about the great birding you can do there. I was excited but didn't know what to expect. It was so lovely. There are GOBS of trails including a boardwalk over a marsh to the bay shore and a dock that leads down to a sailing station where wind surfers were taking off. SO cool - almost an unreal experience. I also saw some beautiful birds! I need to get out my guide and identify them but I was able to snap a few pics. Ben and I will definitely be going back there with our walking/running shoes. In addition to my trip to the Baylands, I went to Ikea (it's right across the road.) Did you know when you sign up for their member card you get a coupon for FREE frozen yogurt? It's pretty delish and you don't even have to go through the entire store to get it, which was AWESOME! So a neat walk outside followed by free ice cream - today was good. Here are some pics from the Baylands:
That's it for now, off to start cooking some dinner.
Loves,
Laura
