My wife and I were only a couple of hours away from San Francisco, so my wife thought it would be fun to take a 2 day trip to the city.
I was nervous about leaving the kids home alone for two days, but it sounded like a great getaway for the two of us.
My wife and I spent one day in San Francisco, exploring all of the places that tourists like to visit. We went to the Bay Area Discovery Museum and to the Golden Gate view point. We walked across the bridge and all the way to Marshall’s Beach. We even visited a recreational marijuana dispensary. The next day, my wife and I decided to drive an hour outside of San Francisco so we could visit Duxbury reef and Stinson Beach. Duxbury Reef and Stinson Beach is at the south end of Point Raise National Seashore. The reef was amazing to see at low tide. We sat in a small crevice and smoked a marijuana joint. It was still early and I could see the marijuana smoke in the air. We were alone, except for a few pelicans and seabirds. My wife and I almost got trapped on the beach when the tide came in quicker than we expected. While we were near the beach, my wife and I decided to drive all the way up to Sam P. Taylor State Park. While we were there, we got to see redwood trees. It was the first time in my life that I have seen redwoods and it made me want to drive all the way to Sequoia National Forest. Unfortunately, that is at least a five or six hour drive from San Francisco and not at all viable for a one or two day trip.
