April 15, 2009 ~ READY TO ROLL....AGAIN!
Has is really been five months since the last entry? I guess it has. When I last posted, we had been back in Bodega Bay only a month, and already our stay for the winter season is just about over. We will begin our trip north next week to our next home on the Washington/Idaho border about 50 miles south of Canada.
In February, we took a 3 day road trip up to Redding and Red Bluff to check the area for a possible future stay. Redding is a very pretty city surrounded by snow-capped mountains and is home to the one-of-a-kind, pedestrian only Sundial Bridge. The glass-decked suspension bridge hovers over the Sacramento River and is a unique addition to the beauty of the surrounding natural landscape. Redding’s City Hall houses artwork throughout its interior, and the outside grounds feature the recently created "Sculpture Park". Visitors can stroll the paved walkways viewing various wood, stone, metal and mosaic art pieces.
Jason came up for a visit again a couple of weeks ago. Joe and Jason played golf at beautiful Northwood Golf Club. This scenic course is set among the redwoods along the Russian River in Monte Rio, just a few miles northeast of Bodega Bay. It was a fun day; I tagged along to photograph while they played 18 holes. All I can say is "watch out Tiger... you could be replaced!!" Jason looks pretty good! Joe plays a good game too. There are a few photos in the 'BodegaBay Jan-Apr 09' photo album of the Redding trip as well as the golf game at Northwood.
Well, I guess that’s about it from Bodega Bay. Stop back and visit our site again after we settle in up north. We’ll have new stories and images from what promises to be a beautiful area and another great adventure!
