Weekend Away
Last weekend my husband and i took a weekend away. we went up the coast to the russian river area. we stayed the first night at an inn at the mouth of the russian river within view and earshot (important for me) of the pounding surf. The inn had a first rate restaurant where we ate by candle light at a window seat.The room was under the dinning room with a great view from the sliding glass window to the deck. Of course it was storming so we didn't spend much time on the deck. Morey played music and i drew with pen and ink. it's been a while so it was very engrossing. all that i needed to calm my spirit.
The next night we stayed near a small state preserve of a redwood forest. the inn was unique in attempting to create a tropical spa feel in this river town tourist trap! The room was simple with mixed asian themes. a fantastic show and a DVD player. So we rented a movie at Safeway and cuddled in our romantic tropical paradise.
In the morning the early morning fall light played on the tropical plants next to the closed for the season spa.
i was glad i brought my camera so i captured the colors playing in the fall light.
After breakfast we drove through the redwoods we'd walked through the day before, till we rose above them into field and wild oak. the sun was so bright and the day warm. We walked through a remote campsite. I really want to go back to the camp site as all the tourist trap feel was gone there!
so it was a weekend of renewal. of course a bunch of stuff also went wrong but that's OK.
