Armstrong redwoods & Goat Rock beach.

Today was an AWESOME day. It all started with a trip to the Armstrong Redwoods state park in Guernville. What a beautiful place! I looooooove the woods and had never really experienced these amazing giants. The park was eerily quiet (which was excellent of course) and very picturesque. Photo 2 shows just a hint of their massive size. I didn't get to spend all that much time at the park due to the day's schedule but afterwards I took a trip down to Goat rock beach in Jenner. Of course, everywhere you go there are vineyards and I couldn't resist just one more shot of grapes! I was told this was the best place to watch the sunset so I arrived just in time for "THE sunset". Isn't it beautiful? Yes, I know I couldn't see it either due to all the fog! It was not only insanely foggy but also quite cold 58' for a Floridian is cold, especially in the summer. Anyhow I loved wearing a jacket in August and escaping the Florida heat. The beach was totally empty and well, as you can see, very foggy. I shall have to come back when it's clear as it's actually an amazing sight. The last photo is actually where I'm staying which is the Windsor Worldmark resort, all the comforts of home and definitely recommended. I love the apt style feel of the place.
