After our adventurous week at JH Ranch, Emily and I drove down California and spent an evening in San Fransisco before catching an early flight home the next morning.
We stopped along the way at Muir Woods, a quiet preserve of large trees near busy San Fran. It wasn't until this point in the trip that we really got the camera out.

| Emily dwarfed by the trees |
 |
| I had to act like a tourist just once |
Then we got in the car and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge to San Fransisco
 |
| Laying eyes on it for the first time |
 |
| I don't know who thought to paint it orange, but what a unique example of complimentary color |
The bridge took us into the heart of downtown, so we walked around Fisherman's Wharf until sunset.
 |
| After dinner, we watched the trollies go for a bit |
 |
| Then we went for an ice cream cone at the best possible place for one |
 |
| And we ate it while we watched the sunset |
 |
| Said sunset. I can see why they call it the Golden Gate. |
The next morning we were up at 4:00, which was actually helpful because it got us back on Eastern Time quickly. We enjoyed a quiet flight (now a luxury for us) and came home to the kids, house, and church we so badly missed. The trip was fantastic, but it sure was nice to hold our kiddos once again!
