Mendocino 2013
We have a lovely tradition–albeit not one that is strictly a yearly tradition–of getting away to Mendocino around Julie's birthday. (You can read my last post on the tradition and trip here.) So this year the day after Julie's SURPRISE 40th birthday party, we jetted off for a few days. Admittedly, the timing was a bit odd. Last year, we went during Lola's Thanksgiving break and it was perfect since she was out of school that week. For some reason, when I booked the house we rented earlier this summer, we made it for a week Lola and Ollie were still in school so they both missed a couple days.The trip this year was just as fun as the others. We checked out the lighthouse and botanical gardens again and mainly just took it very easy. You can see a gallery of neat pictures here.
