Point Reyes in July

 

Only someone native to Northern California would know that although beautiful, a beach visit in July is usually a very cool, windy and foggy experience.

Above is the view from just below the lighthouse.  Breath taking ; beautiful but

SO COLD and HIGH WINDS.  We were prepared and brought lots of layers and even brought shorts just in case it was miraculously warm

 

The dear were out and about and didn’t seem phased by our driving past them as the grazed.

Here is our little group, hiking down to get a better view of the coast.

I really think he was hugging me so that he could get warm!

Oliver playing with his boat in a tide pool.

We went down to Drakes Beach to have our lunch and let the kids play.  It was more sheltered from the wind, and we had a really good time.

Max was more than happy to get wet up to his waist and beyond I think!

Lavender had fun with her girlfriends, which she calls “the kids”.

                            

I love these two photos!

Lunch with a view….and seagulls waiting for any little scrap to drop on the ground.  Oliver thought is was more fun to feed his sandwich to the gulls than to eat it himself.

My clogs were waiting on the rocks after I walked near the waves.

Between the wind, the drive and the playing, we were all worn out afterwards, but in that good sandy tired feeling you are supposed to have after a beautiful day out doors at the beach!
