Monday in Vacaville

After a little bit of a late sleep (thanks to gran) we got up and had some breakfast. I managed to work out how Rob's coffee machine works (thank goodness!). Dano then called and invited us to go to the beach with him and his family.

The McCollam's collected us at about 10 and we drove for about an hour and a half - the terrain was amazingly diverse - from wetlands to rolling hills to Free State looking farmlands to mountains, forrest and coastline.

Our first stop was at Muir Woods - named after the man who set up the National Parks system in America. It is a redwood forrest, but they aren't even giant redwoods - it was amazingly beautiful though.

Dan and I checking out the wood for our next guitars...

After the woods we headed to Muir Beach where we picknicked and dipped our feet in the Pacific. We then headed back home.

Dano then took me into Sacramento to a music store - it was immense! I goggled at a few guitars (especially liked the Taylor 114 CE), recording equipment and effects pedals. I didn't buy anything though...
