we drove to mendocino, which is a small coastal town about 4 hours north of us from where we are...for new years with some friends. i wasn't going to post pictures (well i was going to put a sunset one in the WWT thread since i mentioned it) but i got so many fun ones that came out pretty, i thought i'd make a little coast-loving thread for those who are craving some ocean views. enjoy!! where we stayed, Sea Rock Inn, we loved it.

a few pictures of an amazing sunset we caught one night, these were all taken in the space of about 15 minutes as the sky was deepening! ________________________________ |

the last two shots were taken with the camera on different settings, i love the blues in the first one. in person this was the most amazingly INTENSE sunset...the camera doesn't even capture all the colors. this one is a bit granular as i was macro'ing in too much. but i love the colors. ________________________________ |

I'm so incredibly envious! I was born in the Bay Area, and have always loved how beautiful the coastline is. Texas is just so - meh. What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year! Cute room, too! *********************************************** |

our in-room old fashioned fireplace which greg had a heyday with, making huge fires that roasted us like little peanuts in our small room. ________________________________ |

Mara, your pictures are great!!! It reminded me of our trip to Carmel/Pacific Grove; we stayed at the Seven Gables Inn and the B&B was right on the water like that and our room had views of the ocean. Wow lovely sunset; ahhhhhh!!! The food looks delicious too; the bar looked fun!hehe Thanks for sharing and of course you and Greg look adorable.

Great pictures, Mara! I'll have to post some of mine when I get home (I live in Santa Cruz, used to live in Monterey). Stay dry, we've got some pretty intense rain and coastal flooding on the way!

Yeah, and I have to go to San Jose today after work. I'm not sure that driving over Hwy 17 in this weather is really the smartest thing to do, but oh well.

GREAT photos!! Thanks for sharing  We absolutely fell in love with Cali while we were there too, and it made us re-ask the same ol' question "what in the DANG are doing living in Canada!!!"

Mara those pictures are absolutely beautiful. I think I'm going to use the first sunset one as a screensaver if you wouldn't mind! BTW: So sad the bling was hiding
