San Francisco Trip!

I spent the last three days in wonderful San Francisco! I love that city so much, if it weren't so expensive to live there I'd seriously consider moving there. Usually when I go I stay in the city we do city stuff, but Friday my husband and I decided to venture across the bridge for a little hiking in the Muir Woods. The redwoods and sequoia's hold a special place in my heart and Muir Woods didn't disappoint with it's large display of redwoods. After a nice little hike we decided to follow highway 1 to Stinson Beach. Along the way we stopped off at Muir Beach overlook, well worth the stop with it's breathtaking views! Here is a photo I snapped using my iphone.

 

After enjoying the wonderful views we continued on to Stinson Beach. Someday I want to drive the entire highway 1 from San Diego all the way to Canada. I've traveled parts of it and it's beauty never fails to amaze me. This part of the highway was so pretty with views of the ocean, cliffs and the city on the other side.  Once we arrived at Stinson Beach we parked the car just off the highway and walked to the pretty little beach there. The weather was nice and the town was so cute! I wish we had more time to explore. After all the hiking we had worked up an appetite so we walked over to this cute little cafe with outdoor seating called the Parkside Cafe.

The outdoor area was filled with flowers such as lavender and had a very relaxing atmosphere. The food and beer was good and we left happy. 

I love all the things San Francisco has to offer but it was really nice to venture out past the city and enjoy the quieter side.
