I got out of the tent, took a shower myself, got in the car, and started heading up the 101. There was another scenic byway that went through the Redwood National Forest, which we …

Link to San Francisco / Muir Woods Facebook Pictures We woke up today and drove out to San Francisco. When we caught our first glimpse of the Golden Gate bridge, the fog was almost too thick to see it. We parked at a small “overlook” but could only see a piece of red through the fog.

In short, we weren’t comfortable. We were both cranky, and Molly mentioned being homesick. That was the first time that I started realizing that I might…
