Oct. 15-16 – Northern California

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” —Seth Godin

We spent our last two days of our Pacific adventure driving down the California coast and winding our way through part of the Redwood Forest. It was a beautiful countryside, where the mountains meet the ocean. The roads twist and turn around and over the mountains, producing wonderful vistas of the valleys and ocean. We visited several more beaches including a glass beach and stopped at a few of the large redwoods to take pictures.

Our final destination was Los Gatos near San Jose. We drove by vineyards and small ranches on our way towards San Francisco and Berkeley…beautiful countryside on a beautiful day. We spent our last afternoon doing a little shopping in Los Gatos and enjoying the company and hospitality of our daughter in-law's grandparents. It was a fantastic vacation, we saw a beautiful area of the country plus we got to enjoy some delightful time with family. It’s definitely a place we will visit again.
