Morning at Ocean Beach, San Francisco

It's been raining in the Bay Area and we are all very happy! Taking advantage of a few dry hours in between a 3-day long rainstorm, we headed out to Ocean Beach early in the morning. The beach is such a peaceful place early in the morning. We saw birds; people walking, running and fishing, surfers and lovely colors in the sky signaling the beginning of a new day.

Big Sur Camping

This past weekend we went back to Big Sur to camp. This is the 5th year we've been camping there and this was our son's first time there, as well as his first time camping. He did great!

Because we've been there so many times, we know it well so we know what spots to hit, what hikes to do and where to go. Despite the familiarity, we are always amazing with how beautiful this part of the state is. Every one of our trips to Big Sur are filled with happiness and the best energy in the world. We often say that it is one of our favorite places in the entire world!

Karl the Fog

Starting a couple of days ago, San Francisco was taken over by Karl, the fog. Since then, every morning, the fog has been so dense, you could hardly see down the street. This morning, on my way up Mt. Davidson, the fog was particularly dramatic up in the Eucalyptus forest. Here are some photos I took. It was kind of magical to be up there, surrounded by fog with only the sounds of the birds and the trees!

Fall in Sonoma County

It is no secret that we don't really have a Fall season here in San Francisco so, in order to get the color, the sound of dry leaves being crunched under your feet, the cooler weather and the smell of Fall in the air, we headed inland to Sonoma county. Once in Sonoma, we drove downtown to get some amazing bread and coffee at the Basque Boulangerie Cafe and then decided to pick a road off the map and drive up it. We found Fall at the the end of a narrow and windy road. It was beautiful!
