September 2016 - Point Reyes, California
We made it back to Point Reyes to see the lighthouse. It was windy, cold, and foggy, but the setting for the lighthouse was one of the most beautiful that I've ever seen. Afterwards we went to do a nearby hike and stumbled across a beach full of elephant seals. What a pleasant surprise!
On our way back down to the peninsula we stopped off to see the Painted Ladies. Gotta do it sometime, right?
