California! That's right, we have decided to do a road trip along the Northern California coastline this summer. I know, summer is months away, and we won't be going until the end of summer, but it is something to look forward to.
As you can see from the new books we are reading, the research has begun! I am already searching for interesting spots to stop, places to get yummy food for cheap, and the best parks to visit. Where is Rachel Ray when I need her?! Although we would need to spend like $40 a day for all three of us-guess we'd better pack the pb&j!
Last summer we just dipped into California to visit the Redwoods and build a sandcastle. I was in love with the warm breezy beaches, and have been longing to go back ever since. Our Northern Oregon coasts are just not warm and breezy...they are cool and windy at best. If I close my eyes, I can almost feel the California sun beaming down on my shoulders. Ok back to reality-it's super cold and hailing right now. Brrr.
My family grew up on the Northern California coast line in Arcata. I've always loved it down there. It is a weird place though, has a strange vibe to it.
