This pix does not nearly do the awesome lighthouse justice.

It had amazing views of the Golden Gate and San Fran.

The walk back.

In time for Maya's return from school, and some playground time.

As it warmed up, there was playing in the ocean.

And watching playing in the ocean.

Followed by another girl and her cake - it was also Erin's birthday.
