Monday. Also President’s Day. And I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in the world that is working today. Ha! Anyone taking advantage of the awesome online sales today? I pulled the trigger on a couple of items I’ve been eyeing.
You guys, this weekend was so good. I got to slip away to the coast. Celebrate one of my besties turning the BIG 4-0.
Now if only I could be back on that trail staring at the ocean right now. That would be pretty great!
Intentions for the week:
Make a pretty spring table setting – (coming to the blog this week)
Bay requested chicken teriyaki. Thinking of making it into a casserole? – (coming to the blog this week)
- Sale 10 items from my closet. Running out of hangers!! – (FAILED)
Hang out with my nephews ♥
Celebrate Nidia’s Birthday with the girls (always a good time)
- Research a mother + daughter New York trip
- Workout Mon – Fri – (almost, skipped Friday to clean the house)
- Ride bikes – (too damn cold brrrr)
Last weeks Intentions : {weekend notes}
And how about some weekend highlights…..
Picking up my girl as a “car rider” on Friday was just as much a treat to me as it was for her. I can’t remember the last time I waited in the pick-up line. And I got a couple more smiles + squeezes before she left for her Dad’s house for the weekend.

Spontaneous Friday afternoon trips to the coast are always a good idea!
Pit stop at The Tide’s for chard + chowder

Paul, the bartender, showing off. Guess how many wine glasses he has in one hand?

Answer: 14 glasses
I’d probably show off too.
Tried some Donkey Piss #yolo

Waking up at Jenner Inn was a treat

We were lucky to grab one of their last rooms

And this view from our front door

Jenner Inn is a bunch of cottages right on HWY 1 overlooking the Russian River. About 10 miles north of Bodega Bay. Just far enough.

Other than the birds, it was dead silent and so crazy relaxing.

Beautiful walkways
I highly reccomend checking this place out. I can’t wait to go back.

Up early to explore.

Surprise plan to hike the Kortum Trail. This has been on my bucket list for a few years now ♥
You know when your driving up HWY 1 and you see all the trails that wind along the coastline? That’s it. I always thought, wow I bet it’s beautiful.

Just a mile south of Jenner you hit Goat Rock/Blind Beach.
More beautiful than I ever imagined.

Four miles of trails that look just like this.

Kortum Trail, connecting Blind Beach to Wrights Beach.

With continuous views like this


Blind Beach
When you’re out exploring by 8am, you get the beach ALL to yourself.
Nothing more peacful.
The water looks like glitter!
Blind beach is divided by a parking lot. It’s crazy because the south side of the beach is a beautiful sandy beach. The northern side of the beach reminds me of glass beach. Full of colorful rocks.
And old tractor looking equipment….
