We just got back from our annual trip to sunny (but cold and windy) California, where we visit relatives and friends in the East Bay-Sacramento area.
As you’ll see, this year's vacation included a wedding, a few birthday parties, scenic drives along the Pacific, walks through Monterey and Sacramento, plus a morning at the Monterey Aquarium. It was fabulous!
I’m always struck by the beauty of California plant life, as well as the intensity of light along the coast and in high desert. When you live in the rainy northeast woods the rest of the year, West Coast light is very big thing.
Here are some photos, for your enjoyment. If you have two minutes, slather on some sunblock then click on the video for a virtual vacation. You’ll hear waves, birds and children. What could be better?
It looks like you had a lovely trip. I just got back Tuesday and I thank you for the tip on taking a sweater. It got hotter last weekend and I will be posting pictures of a different kind of a trip. I had a ring side seat at a rodeo parade, went to Berkeley to see the Botanical Gardens display, and to Saratoga and the Hakone Gardens.
