First Day Back

My first day back in SF Alex and i went exploring across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was cold. It was windy. It was fun. I love it here so much.

Captured Moments in SF

Here's a collection of random photos from my time in San Francisco these past two weeks!

Point Bonita Lighthouse/ Marin Headlands

Today we decided to checked out Point Bonita lighthouse in the Marin Headlands. It's just over the Golden Gate Bridge but took us about an hour to get there since we got caught up in traffic on the way. Once you get to the bridge the drive is a total breeze and the scenery is amazing. Crossing the Golden Gate is always fun, but the drive through Sausalito and up through the Marin Headlands is wonderful. The weather was perfect, my playlist was on point (as always) and everything was perfect up until i reached the porta potty but we don't have to go into detailed about that. The lighthouse is fairly small but the view of the ocean, the city, and the bridge all together is amazing. There are also little abandoned buildings covered in graffiti right next to the lighthouse, i definitely recommend checking those out while up there!

Pigeon Point Lighthouse

Alex and I had planned to drive down to Monterey (about two hours away from SF) to visit the big aquarium since i had never been. On the way there we passed through Pigeon Point lighthouse in Pescadero, which added on about an hour to the trip but it was absolutely worth it. We drove along the coast and the scenery was beautiful. The lighthouse was built in 1871 and is actually the tallest lighthouse on the west coast of the US (tied with Point Arena Lighthouse). I highly recommend planning a little trip to anyone in Northern California, you could also make a stop in Santa Cruz! It's very close to the lighthouse.
