Road Trip Out West -- Day One

We left San Francisco this morning and headed Northwest. Once we reached Sonoma County we decided we needed to be closer to the ocean. We took the greatest County Road (128W)!! The drive was spectacular - mountainsides, vineyards, valleys, and the fall colors!!

The river that runs along side 128 took us to US-1 on the Pacific. Below is a picture of River meeting Ocean.

The fog rolled in shortly after lunch

This picture is a favorite, what looks like a lake is clouds hovering in this valley

And then we reached the Redwood Forest and I fulfilled my desire to drive through a tree =)

Fall colors -- a couple of great trees
