I decided to take a quick trip to the coast last month before the weather turns. One of the places I visited was Bodega Bay. It was a charming sweet little place that I instantly fell in love with. Here are a few photos to give you a glimpse of how beautiful it is there.
I ate at the Spud Point Crab Company right on the bay. The crab sandwich was amazing!
I stopped at some wonderful wineries and found some new wines for you to try! The highlight of my trip though, was that I had lunch with Holly, the lovely lady who is responsible for the artwork on my site. It was the first time I ever met someone from my virtual world in the real world and it was so much fun! She was just as I thought she would be, funny and intelligent and a wonderful lunch companion.
I had so much fun on my trip! I’ll get some more pics up in the next week or so….
xxoo,

November 10, 2011 at 4:29 amWow, a quarter pounder crab sandwich. Yum.
Love the look of fishing boats and yes, even the smell.

November 10, 2011 at 7:36 amWhat a lift to see your images of days on the water…looks so inviting, especially after the heavy snowfall we got yesterday.
Crab sandwiches – oh yum…nothing like that here in the midwest (and I grew up on the East Coast where fresh seafood was the norm)

November 10, 2011 at 4:15 pmSuch pretty pics of your day out. I have not met in person any of my bloggy friends yet but I think like you I would know them after all the time I have been corresponding through comments. It is kinda like the pen pals we got when we were grade school students. So long ago for me.

November 12, 2011 at 8:05 amRemember the first time I saw Bodega Bay. At the time it’s claim to fame was Hitchcocks “The Birds” Beautiful place. I miss living in California. Glad to hear that you found more wine for tasting.

November 12, 2011 at 7:31 pmBodega Bay is only a few miles from where I grew up…and spent last week…which explains why I missed the posting deadline for Alphabe-Thursday Bodega is a lovely place…

June 2, 2013 at 3:30 pmHi
I just found you via another blog. I am British girl! living just outside London – I used to be a farmers girl with horses and I teach cookery. I found your writing very wistful, as I love to travel around America – We do not like to book in hotels either, just plan to get from A to B via the unknown! I will carry on reading you and maybe pick up a few tips for places to visit.
Best regards
