Big Sur

Over the holiday weekend the four of us went down to Big Sur. We had a great trip (after an initial mixup with our hotel reservations was staightened up).

We walked along Pfeiffer Beach and explored some tide pools and climbed the rocks overlooking the surf. We saw starfish, crabs, mussels and all kinds of cool things. We also wrote a bday message to Dena in the sand.

We also went on a hike in Julia Pfieffer Burns Park to see the McWay Falls. The trail winds around the cliffs along the ocean front up to a view of the waterfall falling into the ocean. It was a spectacular view.

This picture doesn't do the view justice, but if you look in the top left corner you can see the waterfall.

On the other side of the same park we went on a short hike through the redwoods. It was spectacular.

The Golden Gate and Japanese Tea

On the last day of Kevin and Ina's visit (the 4th of July) we visited some "must see" city landmarks. First we went to the Golden Gate Bridge. We got some great pictures from Fort Point.

Then we went to Golden Gate Park and walked through the Japanese Tea Gardens and the Botanical Gardens. I loved it there. It was so peaceful and beautiful.




Even Buddah thinks it's wonderful. It was a great end to a fantastic week.
