We were not in a rush to leave Ukiah this morning but still got away fairly early. The scenery along 101 south of Ukiah was nice--lots of vineyards and green hills. We stopped in Healdsburg to pay homage to one of our favorite spots-the Oakville Grocery.
Originally we were going to bypass San Francisco but the weather was nice and it looked like we'd be arriving there around lunchtime so we couldn't resist.
After all the beautiful things we've seen the past 40 days, few can compare to driving across the Golden Gate Bridge on a sunny day. And Mr Ripley thought it was great because the toll booth operator gave him a treat.
Since we had Mr Ripley in tow and didn't want to leave him in the car we needed to find a place to eat outside. The perfect spot was found behind the Ferry Plaza building at Boulette's Larder where we had an excellent albeit expensive lunch.
And then a few hours later and we were pulling in our driveway. 10,740 miles. 32 states plus DC and Ontario, Canada. 40 days. And we had the time of our lives!
I'll post the rest of the pictures and some reflections later.
