Honeymoon

Here is a slide show of some photos from our honeymoon.

We had such a good time (our dog did too) the first night we stayed in Gualala and then we went to Mendocino for four more days. Our first two days were sunny, then it got overcast with light showers, but it was sunny again the day we left.
In Gualala we stayed right on the ocean, we saw more stars that night than either of us had ever seen and being able to hear the waves crash so well was amazing. We wish we could have stayed a little longer in Gualala but we were on a mission North. We got to Mendocino early in the day and the first place we came to was the Ford house(maybe I'm related?)
The honeymoon suite at the MacCallum house B&B was just lovely. We went to beaches all along the coast, Aiko loved that :) We went to the Mendocino Botanical Gardens-acres and acres of amazing plants and flowers from around the world, also dog friendly and it would make a stunning wedding location. The Point Cabrillo Light Station was the smallest lighthouse we've ever been to, we have been to several others and now we want to see more along the US coasts.Mendocino is a quaint little historic town with tons of buildings from the 1860s and tons of dogs all around town-we enjoyed walking around the little village every morning when we'd go down to breakfast at the main house of the B&B we stayed at.
On the way home we drove through some amazing ancient redwood forests, Hendy Woods SP and Navarro River Redwoods(real near where I went to camp for 6 years as a girl).
