I’m about 100 miles from Mendocino on Highway 1 blogging “live”. It’s a gorgeous day. Everyone who owns a bike is peddling on along the coastal roads. I just stopped in a great town called Point Reyes which has shops, restaurants and things like feed stores…;) There is also a great general store with organic fruits and vegetables. I have to admit I bought a diet coke when I should have bought an apple!
This is a must-see stop if you’re driving up Highway 1. You walk out on this path which has spectacular views no matter which way you look. Photos and a video are below:
Fabulous breakfast by the water in the quaint town of Sausalito which is a few exits past the Golden Gate Bridge. You can park by the harbor and walk to many shops and restaurants. It’s a very charming place to visit.
It’s about 60 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. After driving through the hills and dales of San Francisco (why you have to drive through the city to get to the Golden Gate Bridge is just beyond me) we are here! Because its early there are very few people (nice). Here are some photos before I got there:
Look Mom! No cavities!!!! 😉
And some photos when I got to the other side.
This statue is there to honor the National Guard.
Off to our next stop!
It’s 6:30am and we are in the road! Well, almost. We had to stop for a road joe as my sister calls it, at Starbucks. I’m blogging live so you’ll experience the trip with me.
We are on a “no reservations” adventure up the Pacific Coast. Next stop is the Golden Gate Bridge! Then I want to take you on a back road along the cliffs that overlook the ocean, that I’ve never driven.
As my Dad always says “every minutes a mile” so lets hit the road!
Tomorrow morning we are hitting the road!!! Where you may ask? I’m not exactly sure but I know we’ll leave early. I also know I want to take us over the Golden Gate Bridge, up highway 1 and then just head north…having no idea where we’ll end up.
Knowing me we’ll be on the road early and should have our first glimpse of the ocean by 8/9am. I can’t wait to smell the ocean, watch the sunrise and sip my cup of Starbucks…all at the same time.
For this trip we have no reservations. I have no idea where we’ll be tomorrow night and actually no idea how long we’ll drive. 2 days, a week???? Who knows!
Here are some places we might visit. If you have a vote then chime in and write me a comment. Bodega Bay, Mendocino, Clear Lake, Avenue of the Giants, Mt Shasta, Ashland, OR, Napa Valley/Sonoma for some wine tasting??? Living in Nor CAL there are a lot of choices. I feel very lucky and blessed.
I’m off to bed but will see you in the morning…. Bright and early! Sweet dreams and get ready for a fun adventure!!!
