Point Reyes

Last weekend, we took a little jaunt to the Point Reyes Lighthouse and surroundings. If we knew how much there was to see, we would've allowed more time! The drive was very nice and the views , of course, amazing.

This was taken as we walked from the car to the lighthouse. It looks nice, and it was, but it was super windy, and cold cold!



If the winds are steady at over 45mph, they close the stairs down to the lighthouse. Thankfully, they were still open (although I don't know how that was possible), so we got to go check it out.

308 steps later, we were inside the lighthouse. The lady there told us how all the prisms work and other stuff I already forgot.

On the way back, we stopped by Chimney Rock to see the elephant seals. They are huge and move like massive caterpillars.
This happened occasionally. I was surprised we saw so many cows, and I was also astounded at how big some of their udders were. It was nice to see them being treated well and they are without a doubt being raised "free range" style. Maybe the ads are true, they looked happy.


Here is a clearer photo of the lighthouse. It really felt like we were on the edge of the world.
It was a fun day. Thanks Sarah for your Jetta:)

Ok, so when you said Edge of the World, I immediately had Pirates of the Caribbean flash into my mind. :)
