Santa Cruz - Fathers Day Weekend - Day One/Two

Here's the evening of Day One and then Day Two. This will be a smaller post, because forests are notoriously hard to photograph with sun and shadow, and I didn't always have my camera.

The Leonard Building - 1894

Tom Scribner- lumberjack, writer, political activist, musician, editor, humorist - sculpture by Marghe McMahon

Hidden Peak Tea-house

Some of their serving vessels on display; each with it's own name and purpose

Our hostess makes and serves our tea to teach us the delights of the vessel and tea names and varieties.  We chose two teas, and they tasted different!

Bob and I teased Jeffery a little before we came to the Tea house, but we all enjoyed the experience greatly!

On Saturday, after a good breakfast in Felton, Jeffery and I hiked in the Fall Creek Unit where it was warm, but with a pleasant under-coolness.

Fall Creek

We were surrounded by redwoods

I took the creek-fording path rather than cross the log.

Back in Felton, we discovered the park, and the Felton Covered Bridge, an 1892 Historic Landmark

Informative plaque

See how tall it is?

We hung out under the bridge and snoozed on the sandy beach before heading home for an early night.
