I was recently hanging out with one of my local friends here in Mendocino and I told him that I had been saving some money so that I could take a vacation. He smiled at me and said, look at where we live, you are always on vacation! Smiling back, I could not disagree. That evening I went to Big River beach and sat in the sand while basking in the gorgeous sunset.
Mendocino is a magical place that truly mimics almost that of Disneyland when you were a kid. It brings the same magic. The whole coast feels like Adventureland! It still amazes me that there are still such pristine beaches like this in California. On beautiful sunny days, the ocean turns the most magnificent emerald green, sometimes literally taking my breath away.
Summer technically begins today. I have had so many great adventures and trips so far and summer has only just begun! A day at Usal is a must when visiting Mendocino. It's a drive, but wow what a gorgeous one! The Albion River has been one of my favorite things to do this summer so far, particularly because it's no drive at all! For whoever stays at The Schoolhouse, it's a luxury to be able to be there in minutes! There are lots of other secret beaches and river spots along the coast if you are willing to go and seek them out! For those who want the easy beach experience, Big River beach is truly amazing, and it never gets old! Every time I am there I relive the gratefulness I feel for it's beauty. I love that you can go down to the beach and sit on a huge piece of drift wood and relax or step just on the other side of the bridge and suddenly be standing on the shore of Big River itself. " Catch a Canoe" up the river for a gorgeous and scenic trip.
The Northern California coast is the best that California has to offer. Between the ancient redwoods and mystifying landscape of the bluffs and beaches, you are sure to leave this place a different person that when you came.. And for those of us who are lucky enough to live here, happy extended vacation!
To everyone,
HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!
