Day 286: Muir Woods and Redwoods

Before we went on this trip to the west coast, I said to Doug, "Let's make this a relaxing trip. Let's not kill ourselves on this trip." (I know my family!)

On the 25th, starting at 4am, we took our balloon ride over Napa Valley. Then we visited wineries. Next we drove to Muir Woods (on dreaded mountain roads) and saw beautiful redwood trees.




A little tree gnome, no doubt.




And then after the woods, we drove across Golden Gate bridge, found our hotel, and took the BART into downtown San Francisco. More photos to follow!
