BODEGA BAY

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,

RMW

    What 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)

    Remember 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.

    Bodega 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…

    Hi
    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
