a few hours in the woods

One of the things I love most about the Bay Area is how we have the best of both urban living and natural beauty, all within easy driving distance. We can easily drive up to Tahoe or down to Yosemite for a weekend, there are myriad overnight camping possibilities, and the beautiful Pacific coastline is a half hour away.

After dining at French Laundry and spending the night in Marin, we got up bright and early, grabbed a quick breakfast, and drove out to Muir Woods.



We spent a few hours wandering the trails and snapping photos, and were crossing the city by noon-ish, pausing briefly to buy fresh fish for a sushi-making party later that afternoon. How amazingly convenient is that?
