Mendocino getaway

Tom very wisely booked us a little getaway while the kids were in Colorado.  We have not traveled together without the kids since before they were born.  Friday night we stayed local and when deciding where to have dinner, I simply said "let's go somewhere the kids would not like".  We got vegetarian Indian food, including this giant Dosa.  

 Saturday afternoon we loaded up Tom's car and headed north.  Here's a Snapchat of us right before we escaped our real lives.
 Saturday we arrived in Mendocino right before sunset and scored ourselves a reservation at an upscale vegan restaurant called The Ravens.  The food was spectacular - beautiful and delicious.
 It rained a lot during our drive on Saturday but Sunday morning we woke up to a beautiful sunny day.  Here's Tom on the lawn of the bed and breakfast.
 We headed just a couple miles up the coast to a state park.  Here's Tom at a beautiful spot under the highway.
 We started off on a hike that had a few obstacles.
 And some cool moss on the trees.
 The hike was longer than we expected but totally worth it.



 It was a beautiful hike and a great way to spend the day.
 We rewarded ourselves with taking in the sunset from our room (after a nap, of course).
Monday we started the journey home after breakfast and took plenty of scenic stops.
