Muir Woods and Coastal Drive

On our second day in California, we visited Muir Woods National Monument. The trees here are amazing. Both the height and the diameter is just incredible. Their trails are setup so that you can do either a 1/2 mile, 1 mile, or 2 mile walk. However, for you golfers there isn't a drink cart lady, so make sure that you take your own snacks and drinks because there won't be any along the way. Although, I think that they should change that and either add a nice coffee stand or breakfast taco bar about halfway out. That wouldn't detract from the beauty of the place at all in my mind.

Next, we made our way up Highway 1 along the coast to Mendocino. The first three spots that we stopped, they all told us that we were about 5 hours from Mendocino. This was disappointing considering there was over 1 hour of drive time between them. But after a full day of curvy roads, fish sandwiches for lunch, and a few bathroom breaks we made it to our destination.

We stayed at Sea Rock Inn right across the street from the coast. We highly recommend this bed & breakfast. It really was perfect to have such comfortable and clean place to go after a long day of driving or wine tasting. The first night we decided to head into Mendocino to check out the town (population 90) and have dinner. We ate at the MacCullum House and then picked up a deck of cards so that we could play Spades and Euchre by the fireplace in our room before calling it a night.
