Papa Don had a terrific idea; a day trip to Pt. Bonita lighthouse. The only downside; it took us about three weeks to make it there (too many weekend birthday parties!) But on this past Sunday, when the sky was unusually free of the infamous Bay fog and wind, we found ourselves at the Pacific Ocean visiting this this 160 year old lighthouse.
I had never been on the other side of the Golden Gate. Seeing the views from the other side was pretty magnificent and the short hike (half mile at most) down a hill, through a very old and dark tunnel and over a narrow and rickety bridge made it all the more exciting. The exercision couldn't have come at a better time having been holed up for a couple of days trying to rest and recover from a weeks too long cold. Being with my family in the sun and sea air were all the perfect medicine.
I can always tell my physical and mental health are improving when I feel inspired to take photographs. There were plenty of photo ops at this off the beaten path, hidden jewel. We may have had our first trip this past Sunday but I suspect we will be back again soon.
