Our last stay on our post-holiday trip to the northwest: Trinidad and a two-night stay at the Lost Whale B&B on Patrick's Point Road. Gina's brother Mark surprised us as we were hunting for treasures at Agate Beach, and whales were visible offshore for our entire stay, made all the more impressive by the views from our room's deck and main room at the hotel. Our bedroom was on the second floor, and seemed made-to-order for the family: Gina and I had a bed downstairs, and Julie/Nate had a ladder climb to the loft for their individual beds, all with views to the ocean. After Trinidad, we took a meandering path through the Avenue of the Giants redwoods and found some good rock-skipping rivers that demanded our best throws.
