Having just moved to the Bay Area, I want nothing more than to see absolutely everything IMMEDIATELY! While I know it is going to take some time, we've spent the past few weekends trying to put a dent in the list.
Even though it seems to be overcast and foggy EVERY TIME we head to the Marin Headlands, it is always stunningly beautiful! Always be sure to bring a sturdy pair of shoes for hiking & a jacket in case it gets breezy.
After exploring a bit of the north, we wound our way down 84 to the famous Highway 1. Some rock hopping at Pescadero State Beach led to trying to outrun the tide! A bit more meandering down the coast brought us to Año Nuevo State Park and my new best friends -- the elephant seals!
Another weekend, another trip north on Highway 1 [we even got a little sunshine!] The drive lives up to everything written and spoken about it. You could pull over every five feet to take in the gorgeous views, but then you wouldn't get anywhere! Most definitely a bucket list item -- I highly recommend everyone drive at least a section of the highway once in their life!
