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.

SF Japanese Tea Garden

Got to Visit the Japanese tea garden in SF today. It's located in the Golden Gate park, right across the Academy of Sciences. I wish i had taken more photos because the ones i have don't do this place justice. This garden is absolutely beautiful and is a pretty good size as well. I loved walking along the little paths, being surrounded by amazing greenery and flowers, as well as the sculptures and little koi fish filled ponds. You have to plan a visit if you ever find yourself in San Francisco. YOU HAVE TO. I'd go back there in a heart beat. The garden is open daily, and admission is $5 for residents or $7 for non-residents.

On top of it all, you can buy yourself some tea/snacks and sit in a cute little corner overlooking the entrance of the garden. I totally love this type of stuff. We ordered some Edamame and Jasmine tea which were both really good.

Sutro Baths Ruins

I'm back in San Francisco with my love! We had made a list of places and touristy locations i wanted to visit this time around, and today we ended up at the Sutro Baths ruins. A little bit of history on the place; Sutro Baths was a large, privately owned swimming pool complex built back in the late 19th century. It got burned down and was abandoned in 1966,  so not much is left of it today, but it's still a recommended sight to see. I managed to snap some pictures during my visit with Alex. Enjoy!
