Day 12 - Golden Gate Bridge and The Pacific Coastline

On Sunday, we decided to take some time and drive around the area surrounding San Francisco to see some of the most popular sites.  Our first destination was to go the Golden Gate Bridge.  We had to drive through the streets of San Francisco to be able to cross the bridge.  We got to see some of the famous hillside streets that San Fran is known for and made our way across the bridge to the Golden Gate Park to take some pics and then had to come back across to make our way down the Pacific Coastline that we were anxious to see.

After seeing the Golden Gate bridge, we headed back south toward Highway 1 down through Pacifica, Half-Moon Bay and into Santa Cruz.  Wow!  What a beautiful drive!  We got to see some of the most beautiful coastline that I have ever seen.  Hopefully, the pics will do it justice.



The Golden Gate Bridge is quite an impressive structure.




The Boys taking it all in.





There were many places along the roadway that looked like this.



Unbelievable views!



Just like you would see in a movie!



Some steep cliffs.



A beach selfie.  The temps were in the high 60s/low 70s but the wind made if feel cooler.



Beachin'!



After we go to Santa Cruz, we decided to go see some of the famous California Redwoods.  We drove to a state park just outside of Santa Cruz to see the trees.  They are quite impressive.  Unfortunately, we did not see the Giant Redwoods, but the ones we did see were pretty cool.

After we got back, we looked forward to a little downtime at the hotel.  The next day we would be going to see our last stadium (Oakland Colosseum) and then we would be heading home.
