On Memorial Day, we went for a drive with our daughter and son-in-law. He loves driving down Highway One to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, but he had never driven north on One in Marin and Sonoma Counties. The day started overcast, so there was not a backup at the turnoff from 101. I haven't been that way for years, but I remembered where to turn.
We stopped at the Hog Island Oyster Company to poke around. We had lunch at a very busy tourist-trappy restaurant in Bolinas called the Fishetarian Fish Market. Good name. I enjoyed the fist tacos.
I pointed out things related to the North Pacific Coast Railroad along the way. At Jenner, we turned on 116 to follow the Russian River. We stopped at Duncans Mills. I told them about the time that I went through town with my father and the limits sign said something like "Population 50."
We visited my mother-in-law in Rohnert Park and then went to Santa Rosa and visited the train station. We had dinner at the Cattleman's.
It was a long day, but we enjoyed it.
