I love Bodega. I can still smell the inside of the store and hear the sound the swinging door made when you entered. I loved the old art studio called "full circle", maybe? it was to the left of the store and had really cool stuff. Everyone knew everyone in town and it was lovely. My Mom and her sisters actually went to school in the old school house & my aunt was one of the little girls running down the street in the Birds. It's neat to know such a town, they are rare anymore. Do you happen to remember the old doll museum? I've tried to find anyone that remembered it for some time. It was amazing as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.Sparrow Robihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615059237578888075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-80849244252566059332008-10-15T00:21:00.000-07:002008-10-15T00:21:00.000-07:00Wow, this place kind of reminds me of the Island, ...Wow, this place kind of reminds me of the Island, only the Island has less shopping.

My friend's husband also wears his thongs everywhere, so she got him fancy leather ones to wear to the office and for their wedding he wore them with a nice suit!Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956978624939655725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-24298449694888020272008-10-14T12:36:00.000-07:002008-10-14T12:36:00.000-07:00I miss Bodega Bay..

We went back to visit in April after 6 years, I grew up in Santa Rosa and was so excited to visit all my old haunts and take our son H to them.. mostly he was impressed by the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Jelly belly factory tour but thats 4 year old boys for you. <BR/><BR/>My parents live in Idaho now so I don't know when next we will visit Northern California (We live in the middle of England) but I'm still a California Girl at Heart. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for find all the lovely photos.Aprylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196354506684745214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-47588345677170715782008-10-14T10:10:00.000-07:002008-10-14T10:10:00.000-07:00Love this post!

Did you ever live in the area?<BR/><BR/>Steph: Such a very sweet comment, thankyou! Ultimately our careers and wanting to buy a home (prices are pretty steep out there) took us away. But we do dream of one day being able to afford to own property out that way :)<BR/><BR/>p.s. for those interested, the boots are Campers and were not thrifted.
