North to Mendocino

During Bob's Spring Break we took a day trip north to Mendocino. It was the warmest day of the season - 86 degrees at one point! - so a beautiful day for a drive.

First we drove through the vineyards northwest of Santa Rosa. No, that isn't snow - it's a carpet of white flowers!





Then we drove through some redwoods - the Navarro River Redwoods State Park to be specific...



We walked around Mendocino and enjoyed some more flowers. This particular bush was very fragrant and attracting a healthy dose of bees...





Visited the local "grocery store" aka food co-op with an amazing bulk food section...



Purchased a small jar of local (bulk) honey at the food co-op. It seemed appropriate given our encounter with the bee bush...



And drove out on the bluff for some prime sunset viewing!
