April visit with my sis

Mandy and I visited my big sis in Arcata in April. We had a relatively low-key visit, but we did a lot of fun things. I booked an early morning flight, thinking specifically of having a late breakfast at Big Blue Cafe, yum, love that place! We went for lots of long walks in the cool moist beautiful redwood forests. We met her friend for a nice dinner at Plaza Grill. We had a very special dinner at Larrupin Cafe, a really delightful place just a short drive north of Arcata in Trinidad. We watched some DVDs and streaming shows, in front of her wood-burning fireplace. She made toasted bagels with Albacore, cream cheese, and capers, a snack she introduced me to, that has become one of my favorites over the years. Her dogs and Mandy got along well enough, all of them snuggling up with us on her new reclining couch.
