Escape to the Mendocino Coast

Last week I took a couple girlfriends over to my mom’s Beach House on the Mendocino Coast. The drive is long from Truckee, we literally went from one side of the state to the other. The scenery was spectacular all the way but particulary through the Anderson Valley as the vineyards displayed their fall colors. The arrival at California’s most spectacular coastline is never disappointing. Even though it was a stormy couple of days the tropical storm brought unseasonably warm temperatures along with the wind and rain making for an adventurous walk on the beach with the raging tide. We shopped in Mendocino, played games and worked on puzzles, drank plenty of wine and ate too much food! That makes for a great getaway in my book!
