San Francisco Bay area--my favorite!

We spent the weekend in the San Francisco Bay area a few weeks ago. It is so beautiful up there! Chris and I stayed in the city of Tiburon in Marin County.

The Lyford House in Tiburon. This beautiful home sits on the Richardson Bay Audobon Center's land. The Lyford house was not built here, but sent over on a barge from another part of the bay.

On Sunday our friends Eddie and Jessica came from Manteca to meet us and we drove to Point Reyes National Seashore so I could get another stamp on my National Park Passport!

This beautiful ship is located behind a general store in Inverness, California

We had unbelievably clear weather that day!
I love lighthouses and was able to mark another off my list: The Point Reyes lighthouse
