Most people ask if we like it here.  What they may not realize is that we *chose* to live here because we love it so much.  We are so lucky that we get to live in a place that is so beautiful and that is a favored destination of many others on their own vacations.  And, we try to take in as much as we can.  That is why we take many "daycations" around our town and our area.  Here are a few pics of Point Reyes National Seashore - literally just over an hour away from our home.  Our backyard.

point and shoot scavenger hunt

I've been inspired to start a Point-and-Shoot Scavenger Hunt for things in San Francisco.  It is a personal venture, but if you happen to find something during your lunch hour or weekend stroll, feel free to contribute.  I will happily post more than one picture for each item on the list.
