For Mother's Day this year we drove 1.5 hours to Point Reyes, hoping to visit the lighthouse there. Unfortunately, high winds caused them to close the steps down to the lighthouse, but we still had some magnificent views.
Ross and I braving the high winds...
The lighthouse was down a few hundred steps - with big rails and locked gates - a stark contrast to similar lighthouses in NZ with hardly a wooden railing on one side.
Looking north at beautiful beaches far too windy to actually visit. M could hardly walk in the wind, it was so strong.
After the lighthouse we stopped at nearby Drake Beach for a picnic and play on the long expanse of open beach (not the one pictured above).
It was still really, really windy, but the kids had so much fun playing we ended up staying a few hours.
Madeleine was off in her own world, running, dancing, and singing to herself, as well as rolling in the sand like it was snow!
Ross stuck closer to us since he had a bit more trouble staying upright in the wind, but he too, had fun exploring the sand and little tidal pools.
