Sunny day in Mendocino

Last weekend, we flew up to Mendocino for the day.  This was our first real taste of what flying can help you to achieve - it would be a 4-5 hour drive, but is just over an hour in a plane.  It was a really nice sunny day and the flight up there was just beautiful - up the valley, over San Francisco then along the Marin coastline north.  Unfortunately Alex was a bit busy feeding Ruth snacks and handing her toys to take any photos, but he made up for it when we got to Little River airport, using a retro camera app on his phone.

Mendocino is a lovely little sea-side town with cutesy shops for rich tourists and nice cafes.  We didn't have very long there after having a few transport issues getting to and from the airport - we learnt lots for our next day trip.  And we are already planning our return journey for a long weekend...

On the way back, the clouds had rolled in over the coast and it all looked very pretty.

Ruth was really tired by this time and screamed alot.  She eventually fell asleep.
