Elephant Seals at Pt. Reyes -> Bill Maher at the Fox!



We heard the Elephant Seals were out at Drake's Beach, so we decided to go have a look.



After seeing the Elephant Seals, we drove a short ways to Chimney Rock at the end of Pt. Reyes.  An amazing hike, and easy flat stroll... highly recommended.  

the docent told us one ma, shouldn't be feeding 2 pups... and one of them will probably not make it.

The kids weren't done, so on our way out we stopped to do the Abbott's Lagoon Hike on our way out.
Cool mushroom we found on the hike out

And what's a trip to Pt. Reyes w/o buffalo milk ice cream?  
Mmmmm... my favorite ice cream in the whole world.  
That night we had a date night to go see Bill Maher at the Fox!

Diablo Blanco -> sightseeing in SF





There was some low elevation snow in the forecast, so we decided to do the next best thing to BALLS (Bay Area Low Level Skiing)... BUD (Bike up Diablo).  So I picked up Scott and we rode from Sigman's house.  


Check out the summit!

 



This early ride gave me plenty of time to get back and shower.  Then we took a Lyft to Jack London to hop on the ferry for a day in SF.
The boys are sad to leave Oakland... not...
 
at the Cable Car museum...
Cool tokens from around the country
  
the Key system in Oakland!

 

 

Coit Tower, in memory of volunteer firemen.
the line was too long, so we left, but the boys liked sliding down... 
 

 

 

 

and we found a geocache!

 



  

 

 


this was an amazing playground btw.  Need to take the kids back here... 
 

we found this place in N. Beach for dinner.  
 

 

 



in China town we found some dim sum that the boys devoured.  Around this time they were getting quite goofy and silly.. time to get home!
