Fun day in Point Reyes

Playing on the beach

Walking on the beach at Drakes Bay, Point Reyes National Sea Shore.

To wrap-up the fun week Anna and I had (see previous post), all three of us went to Point Reyes for the day.  The Friday started out with the plan to go to SunSplash water park in Roseville.  It turned out they were closed.  We were left with the desire to play in the water, but there aren’t any good beaches in Sacramento.  So, I said “Lets go to Point Reyes”! and that’s all it took.  Next thing we were packing for the day and heading out to our favorite spot.  I’ve posted many more photos on my flickr site, as well as my smugmug site.

We walked down the beach enjoying the breeze and surf, looking for unique rocks and shells.  Then Anna and I kicked off our shoes and played in the surf and dug trenches and pools in the sand.

After getting covered in sand, we cleaned off at the visitor center and drove into town for a bite to eat at our favorite restaurant Cafe’ Reyes, then walked down the main street of town checking out the many art shops.

We found a new art shop called Viewpoints that had some great photos of the area and paintings.  We picked up a few little souvenirs in the form of fridge magnets.  The paintings represented on these can be found at the artists site: Christine Decamp.  Oddly the gallery doesn’t have a web site yet.
