Paul and I's 10 YEAR anniversary is on Thanksgiving this year ( November 25). It also happens to be Paul's 33 Birthday the same day. So some AMAZING Friends the Bonner family and Anderson Family watch the kids for us to go away for a weekend. So we took the opportunity and went to this little Town on the coast in Northern California called Gualala. We rented a little house on the coast. Here are a few pics of the house and the few of the beach from the house.
We had such an amazing time and I truely feel blessed that we have made it to 10 years. It is not real common anymore for people to stay together. I can honestly say that there is NO ONE is this or any other "worlds" I would rather be with!
The road to get to the little town was SOOOOOO bad. Curving this way and that. What should have been a 2.5 hour trip took us about 4 hours.. I was not feeling so well when we got to the house and it was dark and raining. So we reallly weren't sure we were going to see much that night, but the coud rolled in and soon after getting all our stuff in the house it started to pour rain... But a few minutes later came the lightning and thunder... We opened the curtain in the dining/living room and watched the sky light up and it was soooo beautiful! It was breath taking seeing the ocean and clouds in a lighting lit sky.
We got up the next moring and it was cloudy but not raining so we took the pics above.
We went and had breakfast at Cafe LA LA one of the very few restraunts in town and just as we were leaving it started to HAIL! I thought for sure that it was going only last a sec and be done... LOL NOPE. It hailed for about 30 Mins... YES HAIL Marble size peices. It was coming down hard so we just sat in the Excursion and waiting for it to pass. Then, we started home to wait for the hail to melt a litttle before going on with the adventures planned for the day. The roads were covered in Pine leaves and adding 3 INCHES of hail makes heavy cars not want to go. LOL Of course our house was at the top of a steep hill and the truck did not want to get the traction to get up it... so we had to park the truck at the bottom of the hill and walk up it. LOL Check out the pics we took.
We were told while visiting we had to take the drive up the coast a little futher to Port Arena, CA Where is is my favorite thing in the world. a LIGHTHOUSE! So off we went in search o the light house and here is what we found along the way!
We Walked UP 241 Steps to the top of California's Tallest lighthouse.
View from the top.
Feeling on top of the world!
yES then we had to walk back down those 241 steps LOL
Anchor, but they said get off my grass. LOL
Seals on the beach.
So my friends this conclude day one... Well of what I can tell you about, hahaha!
We took our time on the drive home and stopped off at some beaches along the way. One of the beaches we stopped at there was a raod you could walk down to the rocky shoreline. It was labled on the coastline the "most Dangerous Shoreline in Califonia"... But we were careful and took some pics of our finds. We walked up in the rocks on the shoreline and found all kinds of sea life! Take a look! One I am NOT sure what it is but it was AWESOME so if someone can tell me what I held that woudl be great! LOL

Fresh water river meet ocean here!
