For the first few days of the trip we were staying in the beautiful Marin County that has a variety of natural sights. We started the day off in Muir woods, home to a lush grove of ancient and humongous redwood trees.
After a short walk around the grove, we drove up the top of Mount Tamalpais to get amazing vistas of the Bay area, including views of the city of San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, and even Alcatraz. We walked around the mountain and got some great shots of the beautiful surroundings.
After lunch, E's family joined us for a brief tour of the Marin Headlands, which offer breathtaking views of the Golden Gate bridge, which continues to be one of my favorite American landmarks. This impressive structure is truly immense, and I probably took 50 pictures of it, considering I already took about that many a few years ago on my previous visit.
We then descented to the Rodeo beach and walked around enjoying the water and the surrounding hills (and taking many more pictures). The cute town of Sausalito was next, where we enjoyed the nice harbor and views of the city across the bay.
After dropping off E's husband and son, we embarked on a fun girls' night: first, to my favorite Puerto Rican restaraunt, Sol Food, in San Rafael, and then some delicious gelato and a 3-D viewing of Alice in Wonderland (a bit disappointing).
