Muir Woods/Stinson Beach/Golden Gate Park (July 7th)

Kent had work off on Monday, so we went on a family adventure (as Jack likes to call them) to the Muir Woods, Stinson Beach and Golden Gate Park. It was a perfect day. We love being all together and wish we could get away more often.


Muir Woods






The Muir Woods was beautiful. It is about 20 minutes north of San Francisco. The kids loved walking along the path, getting side-tracked by things like spider webs, the wood railings, and each other....everything but the trees :) Jack was so excited when we saw this deer.

Stinson Beach


Jordan actually fell asleep in the car driving from the Muir woods to the beach and surprisingly transferred to the beach. We laid her down on the blanket and she slept another hour. It was a little chilly when we got there, but it warmed up and we even got in the chilly northern California water and played in the waves.

Golden Gate Park


Jack LOVED this cement slide. You ride down on a piece of cardboard. He went down it over and over and over. It is located in this great children's park area of Golden Gate Park. I definitely want to take the kids there again. There is a great old carousal that we all rode on as well.
