{Thanksgiving VI - Friday}

Friday was a great day - everyone was feeling better and was fat and happy on turkey. 

Our first stop was point bonita lighthouse... unfortunately, it wasn't open that day. Yes, I have detected a pattern and yes, in the future, I will check what days things are open before I drag the whole dang family around with me.
Alas, it was a beautiful little hike and the views were breathtaking despite not being able to go to the actual lighthouse. 



We also visited the Mendell Battery right near there, too.

Cool old military building.




We then decided last minute to try our luck going to Muir woods since we weren't too far off. Unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea. There was no parking within a couple miles of the park's entrance. So we decide to cut our losses and head out. We went to Salsalito to grab some lunch at a taco place and then poked around the docks for a bit.




Next was a walk along the coast down towards the Sutro Baths. 


Look at all these cool people in their leather jackets!







It's such a cool place and we all had a good time exploring.





Evette saw an older girl climbing along the top of the wall and wanted to try it, too. But once she was up there, she wasn't quite sure. But look at that good Daddy encouraging her, waiting right there, but letting her do it on her own.

Check out that victorious smile when she realizes that she's actually doing it!

At the end of our adventure day Randy and Kristen headed to the airport and headed back home. It was so great to have them here to visit!

And ended the day with books - of course!
