We stayed in Ft. Bragg, CA tonight. When we first got into town, we needed to stop at the grocery store for Katie's milk and ice. The first store we saw was like a PCC or Whole Foods. The store had a small section of clothing in it, including t-shirts for a local brewing company. When we checked into our hotel, we asked if the brewing company was a good place to eat. Turned out it was!

We had dinner at the North Coast Brewing Co. Ben and Spencer each had a plate of BBQ pulled pork with cornbread. Jennifer and I shared a cheeseburger with fries. That was one fabulous burger. The bun was toasted and the burger was super juicy without being undercooked. Ben said his pork was good, but that the bite he had of my burger made him want to switch what he ordered. Katie gnawed on tough crusted bread and while I fed her some of Ben's pork and cornbread. She also stole a few fries from her grandma's plate:)

If you ever plan on driving down the coast and find yourself needing a place to stay in Ft. Bragg, CA, I highly recommend the Shoreline Cottages. We stayed in cottages 8 and 9. Each had a small kitchenette, furnished with dishes, paper towels, dish soap and a sponge, a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge. They had TVs with DVD players, comfy beds, fast response heaters, and nice toiletries. The rooms were clean and the property manager was very knowledgeable about the area.
