Destination California

California was our main destination for this vacation, most specifically San Francisco. Of course there were many factors that played into the plan which started with the NASCAR schedule. We did a very wide variety of things including sporting events, tours, cruises, national parks, scenic drives and walks. We saw lakes, mountains, deserts, agriculture, plains, high deserts and the Pacific Coast. This shot is from Muir Beach Overlook which was a delightful surprise as we wandered down a back road. I loved the gorgeous ocean view as well as the crisp weather that called for jackets. We were so fortunate to avoid heat during this vacation. So many great places to visit and photograph without summer heat!
