Trip to the coast: Point Reyes

This past Labor Day weekend Holly and I decided to go to Point Reyes National Seashore north of San Francisco. To those of you who live in the Bay Area this is probably nothing special, however, neither of us had been there before, and we both liked the idea of traveling to somewhere with cool weather and nice views. Fortunately for us most of the traffic on holiday weekends seems to go from the Bay Area up to Sierra, so it turns out that we don't have to deal with the horrible snarl of traffic that most people deal with. Point Reyes immediately appealed to both of us, because of its ocean location and the multitude of good culinary products that come out of the area: fine wine, good cheese, and great oysters. We stayed at a small B & B just outside of Point Reyes Station. Over the course of the weekend we were able to enjoy some fine views, go on a kayak trip, take some small hikes, and enjoy the good food. I think that this place is probably Holly's version of paradise. Needless to say we had a great time and intend to go back.
