San Francisco: Golden Gate at Night and Muir Woods

We moved from Felton, CA in the Santa Cruz area to Novato, California. Novato is located about 20 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is of course, the gateway to San Francisco. Our youngest daughter Jenna is here for a week and we picked her up around 11 pm.

Of course, I couldn’t resist trying to get a few photo’s of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco’s skyline at night. The skyline actually had fewer lights on than I would have liked since it was so late when we picked Jenna up and made our way out of the city.

The Bay Bridge is also very visible due to the white lights strung along it’s suspension wires. Two beautiful bridges in one city – wow! At least at night – during the day the Bay Bridge is not near as impressive as the Golden Gate.

We took Jenna to Muir Woods National Monument to see the Redwoods.

The size and majesty of 2000 year old redwoods never fails to impress. The peacefulness in these woods is so relaxing and enjoyable. You feel your inner soul throwing off any and all thoughts except for enjoying the surrounding warmth.

Then along the coast via Muir Beach and Stinson Beach into Point Reyes Park.

See Ya!
