Day Trippin

On Saturday my husband and I decided since our kids were off doing their own things and they were going to be gone all day that we should have some fun too, so we got in the car and ended up driving along the coast up to San Francisco,
we stopped at Pigeon Point light station the beautiful light house caught our eyes.

while there we took photos from the deck and then went into the gift shop
and then looked at the pretty view
they are repairing the inside of the actual light house so no tours were available.
we
found out that there is a hostel there
for anyone and so we took information and who knows maybe one day we will go stay there.

out on the rocks there were some
sea lions basking in the sun.

and the ground was covered by these beautiful color flowers that look like
they could grow in the ocean!

isn't this a beautiful sight, I have always loved light houses I don't know why there is just something about them that I find fascinating. I used to collect mini statues of lighthouses.I often wonder about the keepers who worked and lived in them. If I were rich I would buy one!!!

I also think what a peaceful feeling it is to listen to the wind bellowing and the sound of the crashing sea.

after our stop there we wandered around half moon bay then ended up
in San Francisco and walked around the pier listening to one of the locals play his sax and of course he played that famous Tony Bennett song " I left my heart in San Francisco" it was really nice listening to such great music and having a nice dinner. of course we do like hanging out with our teenagers but now and then
it is great to have fun on our own!!
