San Francisco

Point Bonita Lighthouse
I love visiting lighthouses and this hike to Point Bonita Lighthouse is now my favorite! Its a half-mile hike to the lighthouse. The trail leads down to the big rock where you walk through a tunnel and out the other side of the rock, then you cross a bridge to get to the farther rock. (click on the pic to have a better look.) Then you walk across one last bridge (you can't see it in this picture) to get to the lighthouse. Here is Serenity on the trail.
Shane and Jessica kissing at the end of the tunnel.
Robert and Jared on the first bridge. You can see the second bridge and the lighthouse in the background.
This is the waiting area to cross the last bridge over to the lighthouse. You can just see the golden gate bridge covered in fog behind us.
This is the opposite side of the waiting area with the bridge and lighthouse behind us. The bridge is old and rickety so they only let two people walk across at a time.
Serenity and my dad walking across the bridge.
There are lots of rocks below where the sea lions like to lay.


San Francisco Maritime Museum
The kids found a boat sitting in the sand on our way to the maritime museum.
