I married a Valentine’s baby.
Meaning that Wifey and I have two reasons to celebrate in the middle of
February. We opted for a weekend getaway to Bodega Bay to ensure the occasion
received it’s due. Bodega Bay is a
popular destination for city dwellers like us.
It’s only 1.5 hrs north of SF along the CA coast, promises awesome views
of the Pacific, and plenty of quiet little things to do.
One of my favorite things was
visiting the Potter Schoolhouse. This
was one of the film locations for “The Birds.” Here’s what it looked like in1963 and here’s what it looks like today.
On the East Coast, an ocean view means that you get
spectacular sunrises (as long as you get out of bed before dawn). On the West Coast, however, sunset is on the
menu and we had front row seats to the show. I took some video of the sunset
from our deck – don’t watch it for the sunset though…watch it for the last two
seconds in the 30 second clip. During
the last two seconds of the video, Jake sees deer come into the yard and TAKES
OFF. While you won’t see the deer or
Jake, you can hear Ali start to react. Fortunately, the recording ends before
the dialogue hits R rated levels.
The deer outran Jake...this time. We didn’t see the deer in our yard again.
