Northern California Trip

This past week, we drove to Northern California - and of course one of the first stops was Ghirardelli Square for some hot fudge sundaes.
We hiked down to the lighthouse at Point Bonita. Here part of our group is shown with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
We also went up to Point Reyes and hiked to the steps down to the lighthouse. It wasn't open so we will have to make the trip again when it is open.
We stayed at a Youth Hostel at the Marin Headlands. This house where we stayed was one of the homes occupied by the officers at this former military facility.
Here we are enjoying breakfast in the dining room. They had a full kitchen where we could prepare our meals.
Here is Coco at the Marine Mammal Rescue Center at the Marin Headlands. She thought this was a real otter and offered her blanket (or bullah as she calls it) to it. Below are the two Megans with their children at the Marine Mammal Center. We had a great trip, thanks to Helen's great planning skills.
