We explored some of the coastline in Marin County and loved the fact that the temperature was a cool 75 degrees as opposed to the 108 degrees that we found when returning to our home on Sunday afternoon. Ick! We took Nolan to the Bay Area Discovery Museum which was fantastic. It truly was an awesome place for the 2-8 year old set to explore. We'll definitely be back! We planned to head up the coast a ways to Muir Woods, where some of the most spectacular redwoods stand. However, there were signs all along the freeway that said the parking lot at Muir Woods was full. We'll try it again another time, maybe on a weekday this fall when the toursists are gone! Yet another diverted plan was to go to Golden Gate Park, but once we found out that it was Gay Pride Weekend in San Francisco we quickly changed our minds!
We stayed at a beautiful resort called Cavallo Point Lodge literally at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge. Cavallo Point is on an old army property called Fort Baker. About 18 months ago part of Fort Baker was remodeled to be a luxury hotel. The "house" (room) we stayed in was formerly officer's quarters. I loved the history of this place!
Our greatest adventure, however, belonged to Nolan. He locked himself in the bathroom in our room and there was no way to get him out without the help of two maintenance men who had to come and literally pry the lock off the door. He was in the bathroom for about 15 minutes...and all three of us laughed the entire time. What a crazy kid!
