Happy 4th of July! A wonderful day to celebrate our Independence and take a moment to be grateful for our freedoms. Thank you to all the men and women who defend these freedoms.

If you find yourself in the San Francisco Bay Area, a fun little road trip is to head north on Hwy 1 to the small town of Bodega Bay. Many of you will be familiar with Bodega Bay because of it’s Hollywood history. This small town is where Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic movie The Birds was filmed with Tippi Hedren.
