Muir Woods N.M.

On Sunday we went out to breakfast at a place called Boonfly Cafe. I had read good things about it a while back so I was excited to try it out. It has a cute, unassuming facade and is located just off the road to Sonoma.

Everyone raves about the homemade donuts, so we had to try:

Nice and warm, yum!

D ordered the green eggs and ham and I had the breakfast flatbread.

“Hmm…what should I get? Decisions, decisions.”

k & n had fun on the porch swing outside.

Afterward D’s parents went back home and we drove on to Muir Woods National Monument. The road was pretty twisty and the park was kind of crowded, but it was nice to be able to “hike” on a paved trail with the kids in strollers. We went as far as the paved road could take us, about 1.5 miles total. The redwood trees are so tall that it is perpetually cool on the trail (a little too cool for D, who did not bring a jacket!)

We had seen the Muir Woods cafe mentioned by Tyler Florence on the Best Thing I Ever Ate. I think it was a show about the best “unexpected” food…he really liked the grilled cheese and tomato soup. So, that’s what we shared for lunch. We also bought a kid’s meal which came with a turkey sandwich and the tomato soup.

I was more impressed with the soup than the grilled cheese. It also came with some of the freshest, sweetest peas in the pod I’ve ever tasted.

Back at home k and n had fun playing catch and riding a scooter with Grandpa and Grandma. n was particularly fond of this helmet, so we brought it home with us. (Now he doesn’t have to wear k’s pink flower helmet at home).
