Glass Beach
One of the main motivations to take this road trip up to my Grandma's was the Glass Beach three hours above San Francisco.
My sister and I have always wanted to go on a road trip up there, but just didn't find the opportunity where we would take six hours out of our day driving, just to go see a beach. So this was the perfect opportunity. And, I hate to say it, but I would definitely NOT recommend making a day trip just to see this beach. While it is perfect to stop by for a road trip, there just wasn't enough to make it worth three hours of driving there and three hours of driving back. Regardless, it was an absolutely beautiful beach as all California beaches are, and we are SO glad we FINALLY got to see it and spent hours collecting sea glass.
By the end of it, we were all laying on our stomachs sorting through the glass for those we wanted to keep. It might've been one of the most relaxing times on our trip.
Two hours passed without us even realizing it.
And, sadly, it was well past time to get back on the road.
The sea glass is there because the beach used to be a dumping ground. A sad way to come about, but a reminder that even something so sad can end up beautiful. If you're willing to brave the crazy, windy, hairpin roads and are on your way up the coast up highway one, any way, I highly recommend stopping by Glass Beach in Fort Bragg.

We're going to the beach in September, and until then I'm enjoying seeing your pictures so I can be there vicariously! What a beautiful place you all visited!
