After 563 miles and 12 and 1/2 hours of driving we arrived last night, to our home base, from whence all explorations for the next 6 days will begin. Along the way we saw pink clouds and rainbows, rolling hills and grasslands. There were no unicorns.
On we drove, our spirits high. We discussed Cat Stevens, the history of new age thinking, the class 1 soil of the Central Valley, and why egrets and cows might be grazing together in a field off highway 1.
We saw bridges and buoys and stopped for an appropriate road trip lunch of fish & chips with apple pie shakes.
To merely say it's pretty here would be a huge understatement.
Our day has begun with coffee on a bench overlooking the ocean. I recommend it highly.
Isn't Fourth & Sea the greatest?!! Hope you had time to poke around a bit in our town!

I love that photo of you and Mary Ann--"Road trip!!!" and the topics of conversation as you drove down the road. Not sure about the apple pie shake...Have fun!

12 hrs of driving deserves fish and chips but that milkshake? in my book those pie flavored ones are a bit...iffy. But road trips need adventure or what's the point? love the sister shot.

It is beautiful here today - sunny and very slightly cool. But there is no ocean to see and hear as I drink my morning coffee and no glass beach with jewels of softened glass to play with. You two have extra fun - have some for me!

Lovely photos, what a great road trip. I like the sister in the car shot. Carol, did you get the octopus tee shirt finished for the trip?

No need to tell you two to "have fun".
