why sometimes you just have to enjoy cheese and wine

my phone, which just happened to double as my camera, died these last few days of our vacation. but lucky for me, my friend jess is a super fabulous photographer and snapped these beauties during our stay in point reyes, ca.


now, like i said before, jess and i have this crazy knack for finding brilliant places to stay and the motel invernes was definitely the spot to round out our little roadtrip.

i mean, check out this view! it overlooks tomales bay at the Point Reyes National Seashore.

and the place was run by the owners of this house up the road. so the motel had lots of little accents in this same architecture style.

up close, it really looks to me like fish scales.

the town of point reyes was also filled with lots and lots of fun art and fabulous restaurants. i really thought i'd be doing an entire blog post on all of the terrific food i ate while on vacation, but it was all so good, it was gone before i remembered to take the photo.

the really fun thing about point reyes is that it has a fabulous combination of good food and lots and lots of nature from sea shore to redwoods to elk reserves to ranches and incredible marshes! 

while on one of our hikes we saw this gorgeous baby deer right in front of us! two seconds later it's twin hopped out and they both danced along the path as we walked. and snapped photos!

i also got to sit in one of the BIGGEST trees i think i've ever seen! see me there? that little mini me on the right side branch. not only was this tree big and beautiful, but it had a wonderful view of the coast. i could've sat there for hours and days.

  7. Juliette wine and cheese are always in order! The pictures are amazing especially the ones showing the architecture of the buildings. It was good that your friend was onhand with her camera - I had a camera-caper of my own earlier this week only there was no friend I had to go home and charge the batteries!
