Jill's Journal: We have a
completely ridiculous amount of incredibly fun things scheduled over the next few days, so here’s a few sedate pictures from today (I’ll share the more exciting ones tomorrow). Yet more beautiful coastline in yet another charming seaside town…this one Bodega Bay.
We probably won’t be hugging the coastline quite as tightly as we thought we’d be on our way up north (as cell coverage is somewhat spotty and Rob needs an internet connection for work), so we’re enjoying it while we have it. Bodega Bay looks like it would make a wonderful vacation spot. Quiet, beautiful, and lots of fun outdoors opportunities.
Although neither Rob nor I (and certainly not the girls!) have seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds,” much of it was filmed in Bodega Bay. This 1873 building, the former Potter Schoolhouse, is supposedly the star of the final scenes in the film. This now-private residence (technically located in nearby Bodega) is really a neat-looking old building and stands out from the other architecture of the area.

When I worked for Pacific Bell, I had Bodega Bay in my territory. It was always a mixed feeling. I loved the ocean air, and high up on a utility pole is the best view of any sunset, but I think it took the entire drive back to Santa Rosa for my hands and feet to thaw out.
I believe it. It's been quite a surprise how cold -- and terribly windy -- it's been on the coast. Brrrrr... The other day, we started inland, where it was beautiful, so we were in shorts and sandals. We made it to the coast and had to pull the winter jackets out of the back of the car -- thank goodness they were still in there! Crazy.
General rule of thumb is that if the weather is terrible inland, head out for a great day at the coast. If the weather is great inland, it's going to be cold/windy/foggy out at the coast.
