Golden Gate Park

On Sunday we got up early to get ready for a trip to the Golden Gate Park. We shopped at Trader Joes the night before to pack for our lunch so we wouldn't have to worry about where to eat. We Ubered to the park and got dropped off at the Japanese garden. We wondered through up and around the park, stopping at Strawberry Hill for lunch. We were both disappointed there there were no strawberries on Strawberry Hill. We wondered though the rose garden, although the one in my city is better, and continued on our way through the pool fields and the soccer fields.

 As we arrived at the end of the park we came to Ocean Beach. Of course it was too cold to go swimming but we walked along the beach and enjoyed the sun and surrounding area. We wondered up to the Cliff House and found a Camera Obscura. Inside the camera showed a wonderful view of seal rock and the beach.

BEACH!

 After spending some time at the cliff house, we then saw these really cool ruins with lots of people walking and playing on them. I convinced JT to go and a quick google search told me that they were the the ruins of The Sutro Baths that burned down in 1966. We looked around and investigated all of the ruins.

My favorite photo of the day

Overall I had a great day walking through the park, going to the beach and exploring The Sutro Ruins. We ended the day with dinner at the Pinecrest Diner.

Wishing for the best on your adventures,
