A beautiful road trip from Mendocino to Eureka

I met my brother in Mendocino where my husband and i stayed in a town called little river in a cottage - at the time it was called the seafoam Inn. my brother was staying at the old school house which was further down the coast.

My brother took us all over Mendocino. we had breakfast and then afterwards went to the town's flea market.

The next morning we drove along the coast, stopping almost in every town. I remember going through the redwoods or a park, and went through a tall tree - that was amazing. then we stopped in a town off the 101 and had an early dinner there. it was a beautiful restaurant amongst the redwoods. We walked around for awhile and then started driving towards Eureka.

When we got to this town, I loved it all. the Victorian homes and all the buildings were very unique. we stopped at a corner saloon and had a drink or two before heading back to Mendocino.

My husband and I had never realized how beautiful Northern California can be. this for me was a great experience, thanks to my brother. he lives in a little town called placerville.

Now we are showing our children the northern parts of California.
